Overview

GetStructure is a simple application to download PDB, MMCIF, and MTZ files if available for a given PDB code. The downloads are from the RCSB servers.

Input for the application is the 4 character PDB code identifying the structure. All above formats will be downloaded if available.

Note

On macOS and RHEL 8, the user has to install openSSL 1.1 for the application to work. To install openssl on macOS we recommend using HomeBrew (https://brew.sh/), and the command: brew install openssl@1.1

Or, if you are using a conda environment, specify the openssl version with:

conda install openssl=1.1 -y

GetStructure is not supported on RedHat 9 and Windows 11 at this time due to an incompatibility with openSSL 1.1
