The Protein Data Bank (PDB; ) is the single worldwide archive of structural data of biological macromolecules. This paper describes the goals of the PDB, the systems in place for data deposition and access, how to obtain further information, and near-term plans for the future development of the resource.
What is the RCSB protein data bank?
This resource is powered by the Protein Data Bank archive-information about the 3D shapes of proteins, nucleic acids, and complex assemblies that helps students and researchers understand all aspects of biomedicine and agriculture, from protein synthesis to health and disease. As a member of the wwPDB, the RCSB PDB curates and annotates PDB data.
What is the purpose of the protein database?
Protein. The Protein database is a collection of sequences from several sources, including translations from annotated coding regions in GenBank, RefSeq and TPA, as well as records from SwissProt, PIR, PRF, and PDB. Protein sequences are the fundamental determinants of biological structure and function.
What is the RCSB PDB?
The RCSB PDB builds upon the data by creating tools and resources for research and education in molecular biology, structural biology, computational biology, and beyond. July Molecule of the Month Designed Proteins and Citizen Science PDB at a Glance
Congratulations to the 2021 Winners! In 1971, the structural biology community established the single worldwide archive for macromolecular structure data–-the Protein Data Bank (PDB). In 2021, RCSB PDB and wwPDB are celebrating the 50 th Anniversary of the PDB with symposia, materials, and more.
What is the Asian Development Bank (ADB)?
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is committed to achieving a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable Asia and the Pacific, while sustaining its efforts to eradicate extreme poverty. It assists its members and partners by providing loans, technical assistance, grants, and equity investments to promote social and economic development.
What’s new at RCSB PDB?
In 2021, RCSB PDB and wwPDB are celebrating the 50 th Anniversary of the PDB with symposia, materials, and more. PDB-101 resources and 3D structures of COVID-19 proteins. The RCSB PDB Curricula provide authentic, hands-on teaching materials, individual and group activities and assessment suggestions.
How many structures are there in the PDB?
As of Tuesday Oct 22 2019 there are 157145 structures. PDB entries have been annotated by various ontologies and hierarchical classification schemes. The PDB Statistics page lists the current holdings in the PDB and various growth statistics and histograms.
