Welcome
RCSB Protein Data Bank (RCSB PDB) enables breakthroughs in science and education by providing access and tools for exploration, visualization, and analysis of:
Experimentally-determined 3D structures from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) archive | |
Computed Structure Models (CSM) from AlphaFold DB and ModelArchive |
These data can be explored in context of external annotations providing a structural view of biology.
Features & Highlights
Deprecation of FTP File Download Protocol on November 1, 2024
wwPDB to deprecate FTP download protocol in the PDB archive
Deprecation of ligand model coordinates in MOL2/SDF format starting Dec 10
Programmatic access should be updated to access model coordinates in CIF format
Celebrating National Postdoc Appreciation Week
We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to join the RCSB PDB team
