Abstract: The Protein Data Bank (PDB; pdb.org) was established in 1971 as the first open-access digital data resource in biology.Today, the PDB archive serves as the single global repository for more than 125,000 experimentally determined atomic-level structures of biological macromolecules (protein, DNA, RNA) and their complexes.The worldwide PDB (wwPDB; wwpdb.org)partnership, the international collaboration that manages the PDB archive, supports Deposition, Biocuration, Validation, and Distribution of PDB data.The mission of the wwPDB organization is to ensure that the PDB archive will continue in perpetuity as a high-quality, open-access digital data resource with no limitations on usage.
