Abstract

The Protein Data Bank (PDB), at Brookhaven National Laboratory, is adatabase containing information on experimentally determined three-dimensional structures of proteins, nucleic acids, and other biological macromolecules, with approximately 9,000 entries. The PDB has a 27-year history of service to a global community of researchers, educators, and students in a wide variety of scientific disciplines. Data are easily submitted via PDB’s WWW-based tool AutoDep, in either PDB or mmCIF format, and are most conveniently examined viaPDB’s WWW-based tool 3DB Browser. Collaborative centers have been, and continue to be, established worldwide to assist in data deposition, archiving, and distribution
