PDB Data

understanding the information stored in the PDB archive

The PDB archive includes the atomic structures of tens of thousands of biomolecules, along with information about how they were determined. The RCSB PDB has many tools to help understand and explore this amazing collection of data.

	Celebrating 50 Years of the Protein Data Bank Archive Video In 1971, the structural biology community established the single worldwide archive for macromolecular structure data–the Protein Data Bank (PDB). From its inception, the PDB has embraced a culture of open access, leading to its widespread use by the research community. PDB data are used by hundreds of data resources and millions of users exploring fundamental biology, energy, and biomedicine. This video looks at the history and the milestones that shaped the PDB into the leading resource for research and education it is today.
	Methods for Determining Atomic Structures Video These videos below give a brief overview of the three main methods for determining the atomic structures: X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and electron microscopy.
	Beginner’s Guide to PDB Structures and the PDBx/mmCIF Format Guide PDBx/mmCIF forms the basis of wwPDB data deposition, annotation, and archiving of PDB structure data. This PDB-101 resource is an introductory guide.
	Dealing with Coordinates Guide
	Missing Coordinates and Biological Assemblies Guide
	Primary Sequences and the PDB Format Guide
	Exploring Carbohydrates in the PDB Archive Guide The RCSB provides many tools to explore the functional roles of carbohydrates.
	Introduction to RCSB PDB APIs Guide RCSB.org is powered by APIs that query and deliver PDB data. These public APIs can be used in external applications.
