Additions and updates to the PDBe REST API and FTP sites

PDBe REST API (pdbe.org/api) • New endpoints for protein information.
 ∘ CATHb structure domains.
        ∘ Pre-release Pfam sequence domains (via HMMER).
 ∘ Ensembl identifiers.
• New endpoints for nucleic-acid information.
 ∘ RNA molecules mapped to Rfam.
• New endpoints for information on small molecules in the Chemical Component Dictionary (CCD).
 ∘ Cofactor information.
 ∘ Cross-references to DrugBank (including UniProtKB accessions for drug targets), ChEBI (22), ChEMBL (21) and CSD (37).
PDBe enriched FTP (ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/msd) • mmCIF-format assembly files added (ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/msd/assemblies).
∘ These contain full assemblies for a given structure, along with rotation/translation operators required to generate the assemblies from the PDB entry file.
∘ Includes XML files summarizing the composition of the assembly files, relating each chain in the assembly to an entity in the PDB entry.
• New FTP area for updated chemical-component process (ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/msd/pdbechem_v2).
 ∘ CCD mmCIF files with additional cross-references, mapped through the UniChem pipeline (38), to ChEMBL, DrugBank, KEGG, ChEBI, ZINC, Pubchem, NMRShiftDB, BindingDb, MetaboLights, BRENDA and Rhea.
 ∘ Updated image files for molecules in CCD.
 ∘ Coordinate data in various formats – including PDB and SDF.
