Fetch structures from the RCSB Protein Data Bank and the AlphaFold Protein Structure Database.

To fetch structures from the RCSB Protein Data Bank, enter one or more PDB codes and the App will download and import (if selected) them as structural models in SAMSON.

To fetch structures from the AlphaFold Protein Structure Database, enter one or more UniProt codes.

This extension relies on two other extensions:

  1. MMTF Importer, which allows fetching files in the MMTF format.
  2. Gzip Importer, which allows fetching archived files, useful when you have a slow Internet connection.
Protein Structure Downloader is an extension for SAMSON,
the integrative platform for molecular design.

To use Protein Structure Downloader:

1. Create your free account and choose a molecular design plan
2. Download and install SAMSON on your computer


When you restart SAMSON, the extension will be automatically installed
and will be usable directly from within SAMSON.
