Probably not more than 1/2 year ago I used a nice package that allowed reading in PDB formatted protein structures in ruby. For the life of me I can’t find this package on the web anymore. Where did it go? ---

It’s right where it should be: [http://bioruby.org/rdoc/classes/Bio/PDB.html](http://bioruby.org/rdoc/classes/Bio/PDB.html) It is somewhat remarkable that this is almost un-findable from google. For instance, none of these searches bring up the bioruby PDB api on the first page of hits: ``` ruby pdb protein structure ruby pdb (etc...) ``` Sorry to bother. ---
