Pdb-L Mailing List August 14, 2008

I don’t have so much experiment with mailing lists, but this one is great! A number of knowledgeable and helpful people in the field, around the world.
Special thanks to Dr. Kevin Karplus, professor of Bioinformatics at University of California, Santa Cruz, for his useful and detailed responses.
The PDB-L mailing list is for discussions of the Protein Data Bank, a public repository of experimentally-determined protein structures (and a few other macromolecules). Discussion is mostly about how to find particular structures or subsets that the usual search tools have trouble with, inconsistencies in the formatting of the data, and bioinformatic analysis of the data.
Discussions are not often about experimental methods for producing the data nor about the proteins themselves.
There are many different mailing lists available for biologists, but often they are hard to find. My colleagues and I am trying to maintain a ‘list of mailing lists for biologists’ here:
http://biodatabase.org/index.php/List_of_mailing_lists_for_biologists
This list-page is a part of the ‘MetaBase’ project (the database of biological databases).
isn’t it better to sometimes blog in persian language
