The following table contains information on solved three-dimensional structures of both homeodomain proteins and protein-DNA complexes. The homeodomain structures are manually compiled from the NCBI Entrez Structure database. Each entry in the table below was inspected to assure that the solved structure contains the homeodomain region of the protein.
Each entry is cross-linked to the corresponding entries in both PDB and NCBI Entrez. Users can follow the Entrez links to view the Entrez Structure record for an entry of interest. The Entrez Structure records contain links to manuscripts in PubMed that describe how these structures were experimentally determined. Users can follow the PDB links to view still images and download the three-dimensional coordinates of a structure of interest.
