title: PDBest: a user-friendly platform for manipulating and enhancing protein structures.
abstract: PDBest (PDB Enhanced Structures Toolkit) is a user-friendly, freely available platform for acquiring, manipulating and normalizing protein structures in a high-throughput and seamless fashion. With an intuitive graphical interface it allows users with no programming background to download and manipulate their files. The platform also exports protocols, enabling users to easily share PDB searching and filtering criteria, enhancing analysis reproducibility.
  
  
  METHODS
  PDBest installation packages are freely available for several platforms at http://www.pdbest.dcc.ufmg.br
