1CSC

1csc is a four-character code that is most commonly associated with the Protein Data Bank (PDB), an international repository for three-dimensional structural data of biological macromolecules. In practice, the code is written uppercase as 1CSC and is used to retrieve a specific structure’s coordinates and metadata. PDB IDs provide a standardized reference that enables researchers to locate, compare, and visualize macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids.

The PDB entry identified by 1CSC typically includes atomic coordinates, information about the organism, the experimental method used to determine the structure (such as X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance, or cryo-electron microscopy), the resolution, refinement statistics, and chain identifiers. The data are accessible through archives such as the RCSB Protein Data Bank, PDBe, and PDBe-KB, and can be viewed with molecular graphics software. Each entry is linked to publications and related structures to aid interpretation and replication.

Outside of the PDB usage, the lowercase form 1csc may appear as an acronym or identifier in other contexts. However, in scientific and technical literature the capitalized 1CSC is typically treated as a PDB code. For precise information about the structure associated with 1CSC, researchers consult the corresponding entry in the PDB and related cross-references.
