Find the newest protein-ligand PDB entries and open them
A researcher used Comet to locate three recent GSK3B complexes in the PDB and display each one in Ligand Interaction view.
- What they did
- In Perplexity Comet, they entered one plain-language request asking for the three newest GSK3B protein-ligand structures from the PDB and to open them in Ligand Interaction view. Comet searched for the entries, launched each result in its own tab, and applied the requested display mode automatically.
- How it went
- Three structures were opened and left ready for inspection. The post specifically mentions 8QJI and 8AUZ, but not the third structure, and it does not show any separate verification that the hits were actually the latest ones.
- Tips
- This works best when you name the protein, database, and exact view you want. If the task could cause any external action later, ask the agent to stop and wait for approval before submitting anything.
Try it yourself with Perplexity Comet
Find the [number] most recent [target protein] protein-ligand complexes in the [database/source] and open each result in [view mode]. First list the entries you found and the tabs you plan to open, then pause and ask me to confirm before you open or submit anything. After I approve, open each structure in its own tab and switch it to the requested view.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
