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 Macromolecules

The 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.

Molecule of the Month: Enhanceosome
Enhanceosome
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.    Read more ...

PSI Featured Molecule: Sugarcoating the surface: yeast Alg13
Sugarcoating the surface: yeast Alg13
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.
