Hi

You can do this type of selection from this service at PDBe.  It provides
you with many options that you can combine into a query to make selections
of PDB-ID.
http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe-as/pdbeselect/PDBeSelect.jsp

From this page :
select from the drop down [Assembly] ->  Assembly Name
Click [show distribution]

You will need to use the max scroll slider - drag this left to until you see dodecamer
(it has 0.7% occurrence)
Click on the edge of the Pie to select this - it will appear on the list to the right

Clicking on [how many entries] will tell you that as of today there are 1728 entries of this type.

From [Assembly] -> symmetry number

[Show Distribution]  - will show a pie chart of symmetry-number
You need need to select the bar = 12 ; which might be easier if you slide the minimum scroll bar right (Note you can click and drag to select a range here -
but not useful for your question)

This will appear in the selection on the right with the assembly name

Now click [How many entries ?]

This gives 415 entries

From the table on the right - click on the ID column cells to open the atlas page for any entry of interest. Go to the quaternary page on the atlas page to check that this correct. You can also [Get] a list of entries as text or XML,
or put the SQL into the query browser to fine tune this.

Check with PISA@EBI, it has database searches where you can fetch all 
dodecamers in the PDB

Dear all,

I am looking for proteins that form a dodecameric ring structure  (Not two 
rings of hexamer Nor tetrahedral distribution of subunit trimers). I found some 
phage portal proteins after a quick search in PDB, but I need more.  Does 
anyone know more protein dodecamers that has C12 symmetry?

Thanks,

Hui
