What is Barnase gene?
Barnase (a portmanteau of “BActerial” “RiboNucleASE”) is a bacterial protein that consists of 110 amino acids and has ribonuclease activity. It is synthesized and secreted by the bacterium Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, but is lethal to the cell when expressed without its inhibitor barstar.
What does Rcsb PDB stand for?
Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics
About RCSB PDB: Enabling Breakthroughs in Scientific and Biomedical Research and Education. RCSB PDB (Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics PDB) operates the US data center for the global PDB archive, and makes PDB data available at no charge to all data consumers without limitations on usage (Policies).
What are PDB codes?
Every molecular model (atomic coordinate file) in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) has a unique accession or identification code. These codes are always 4 characters in length.
How do I view PDB files protein?

What type of organisms use barnase?
The barnase fold, typified by the barnase superfamily, comprises two known families of secreted RNases from bacteria and fungi, respectively.
Is barnase regulated?
Barnase is a potent ribonuclease widely used as a cytotoxic agent, tightly regulated by barstar to maintain cell viability.
How do I get my blast PDB ID?
You should be able to use upload a bunch of IDs to NCBI BLAST or use standalone blast+ to query against pdb. Some filtration should get you the PDB ids.
