What are the challenges associated with using PDB data?
While PDB is an invaluable resource, there are several challenges associated with using the data. One challenge is the quality and resolution of the structures, which can vary widely. Low-resolution structures may lack detailed atomic information, making it difficult to draw precise conclusions about catalytic mechanisms. Additionally, the static nature of PDB structures may not capture the dynamic aspects of enzyme catalysis, necessitating complementary techniques such as molecular dynamics simulations.
