Macromolecular Crystallography: Customized RSS Feed

Jan 16, 2010

We were able to put together a compilation of 36 resources that publish articles related to macromolecular crystallography. The result is a RSS feed that contains about 1500 articles and is constantly being updated. (what is a rss feed?) If the average article is 10 pages then this feed is currently at 15,000 pages — that’s a lot to sift through!

Fortunately, yahoo pipes allows a RSS to be filtered and only send you those that contain information of interest. In an effort to save you time, I am going to set up a customized feed for you. Consider it my way of saying ‘thanks for reading’.

What do you need to do?
Simply leave a comment with the keyword(s) that must be included within the journal article.

For example:
Sean
Keyword(s): hiv protease, crystallography, crystallization

How does this work?
I will then create a customized pipe from the 26 resources to your keywords and then reduce the number of entries to the 10 most recent articles. I will reply to your comment with a link that will generate your RSS feed. You can then copy/paste that link into your RSS feeder.

I am going to offer this help for the next 48 hours and then close the comment section.

      Sean, I think you can take out the Acta E (small molecule structure reports) and perhaps Acta C – although sometimes there are pharma-relevant drug-related structures in it.

      Best, BR

      Hi BR,

      The feeds are open to the public so feel free to make any adjustments that you wish.

      I thought this RSS feed might be of interest. I noticed your compilation would miss structures reported in journals like Cell/Nature/Science or JBC and Mol.Cell among others. This RSS feed scans the secondary source subheading of medline looking for pdb codes. It does not return crystallography papers without structures though.

      Thanks for the feed! I went through it and added 10 more journals that contained information related to macromolecular crystallography. I also updated all the feeds that have already been created. If you would like to see the list of all the journals that are now included they are here.
