2009 deposition,
release, and access statistics, describes
new website
features for searching and reporting, and
reviews
recent outreach activities.
The PDB archive can be accessed at FTP sites at the RCSB PDB, PDBe, and PDBj.
The update schedules for these sites have been coordinated to be simultaneous.
FTP Archive
The up-to-date PDB archive is available at:
ftp.wwpdb.org
Time-stamped yearly snapshots are available at: ftp://snapshots.wwpdb.org A Resource for Studying Biological MacromoleculesThe PDB archive contains information about experimentally-determined structures of proteins, nucleic acids, and complex assemblies. As a member of the wwPDB, the RCSB PDB curates and annotates PDB data according to agreed upon standards. The RCSB PDB also provides a variety of tools and resources. Users can perform simple and advanced searches based on annotations relating to sequence, structure and function. These molecules are visualized, downloaded, and analyzed by users who range from students to specialized scientists.
Take a moment to ponder the form of your body: the shape of your face, the color of your
eyes, the length of your fingers, the perfect articulation of your bones and muscles, the
way your hair grows curly or straight. Now let your imagination travel inward, and think
of the complex shapes and functions of your different cells, and the teeming molecular
world inside each one. Remarkably, this amazing structure and form and function is
specified by information in the genome, which encodes a mere 20,000-25,000 protein-coding genes.
One of the great puzzles being pieced together by scientists is the
mechanism by which these genes, and the methods used to control their expression,
specify all of these different aspects of life.

Features
Many proteins in our cells are decorated with carbohydrate chains,
which make the proteins more stable and assist with their function. Using
NMR, PSI researchers now understand how this enzyme builds these essential
carbohydrates.
