RCSB PDB serves as the wwPDB-designated Archive Keeper for the Protein Data Bank.Īdditional wwPDB Core Archives are as follows:Įlectron Microscopy Data Bank (wwPDB-designated Archive Keeper: EMDB)īiological Magnetic Resonance Bank (wwPDB-designated Archive Keeper: BMRB) Update Frequency

Learning about their diverse shapes and functions helps to understand all aspects of biomedicine and agriculture, from protein synthesis to health and disease to biological energy. The PDB is a jointly-managed core archive of the Worldwide Protein Data Bank partnership. PDB-101 helps teachers, students, and the general public explore the 3D world of proteins and nucleic acids. Additional content stored in the archive includes documentation, summary reports, and software (among others). For each PDB entry (unique identifier: 1abc or PDB_0000001abc) multiple data files contain information about the 3D atomic coordinates, sequences of biological macromolecules, information about any small molecules/ligands present in the entry, details about the structure-determination experiment, authors and publication information, experimental data, and the wwPDB validation report. It is a collection of three-dimensional (3D) atomic-level structures of biological macromolecules (i.e., proteins, DNA, and RNA) and their complexes with one another and various small-molecule ligands (e.g., US FDA approved drugs, enzyme co-factors). The "Protein Data Bank (PDB) archive" was established in 1971 as the first open-access digital data archive in biology.
