What they did
In Comet, the researcher asked for the three most recent protein-ligand complexes of GSK3B in the PDB, in the interaction view. The agent found the structures and opened each one in the requested visualization.
How it went
It worked and saved clicks in scientific databases.
Good to know
Verify IDs and dates in the PDB itself before citing them.
The prompt
List the [number] most recent structures of [protein] in [database], with ID, date, resolution, ligand and link. Indicate which ones are the highest quality for [goal].
Replace what is in [brackets]. Prompt written by us from the account, not a literal copy of the source. Do not paste other people’s personal data (privacy laws such as LGPD and GDPR apply).
Summary in our own words. Results as stated in the original account; we have not tested or audited them. Read the source ↗ Case found via agentusecases.ai (Alex Finn); text and prompt rewritten by us. Found a mistake?
