Use the simple interface [http://www.umass.edu/microbio/chime/pe_beta/pe/protexpl/unremed.htm here at Eric Martz's UMASS site] to easily get July 31, 2007 unremediated pdb files [ftp://snapshots.wwpdb.org/ via ftp at the RCSB Protein Data Bank] in the directory 20070731. This is primarily for obtaining DNA before the residues were re-named DC, DG, DT, DA, for Protein Explorer/Chime. | Use the simple interface [http://www.umass.edu/microbio/chime/pe_beta/pe/protexpl/unremed.htm here at Eric Martz's UMASS site] to easily get July 31, 2007 unremediated pdb files [ftp://snapshots.wwpdb.org/ via ftp at the RCSB Protein Data Bank] in the directory 20070731.

These files come back in a compressed form. The 2007 files are .Z compressed, while the 2009 files are .gz compressed.< | These files come back in a compressed form. The 2007 files are .Z compressed, while the 2009 files are .gz compressed. | ||

* For prior to 2007 remediation: <nowiki>ftp://snapshots.wwpdb.org/20070731/pub/pdb/data/structures/all/pdb/pdb1d66.ent.Z</nowiki> | |||
* For prior to 2009 remediation: <nowiki>ftp://snapshots.wwpdb.org/20090316/pub/pdb/data/structures/all/pdb/pdb1d66.ent.gz</nowiki> | |||
To uncompress the downloaded files: | |||
* For uncompressing the 2007 files that are in .Z format: | |||
** Both .Z and .gz files can be uncompressed in Windows using [http://www.7-zip.org/ 7-Zip], which is freeware and open source. | |||
** Eric Martz's site lists WinZip as an alternative for PC but this program is not free once a trial period expires; | |||
** Stuffit Expander failed to uncompress such a file on a PC although Eric lists it as useful on Macs. | |||
** I found to uncompress them, I could upload them to the Web hosting server I have access to and use 'zcat -d <nowiki>[FILE NAME]</nowiki>' to have it show an uncompressed form in my Secure Shell client using logging enabled to save a file of the output locally on my own drive. | |||
** Others have mentioned using a DOS version of uncompress on a PC, called uncomp.exe. | |||
* For uncompressing the 2009 files that are in .gz format: | |||
** Stuffit Expander works to uncompress such a file on a PC and most likely Macs. | |||
** Both .Z and .gz files can be uncompressed in Windows using [http://www.7-zip.org/ 7-Zip], which is freeware and open source. | |||
''Please, note that .gz files can be displayed in Proteopedia without being uncompressed, since Jmol can read gzipped files directly.'' | |||
