Abstract

The Protein Data Bank (PDB) at Brookhaven National Laboratory, is a database containing experimentally determined three-dimensional structures of proteins, nucleic acids and other biological macromolecules, with approximately 8000 entries. Data are easily submitted via PDB's WWW-based tool AutoDep, in either mmCIF or PDB format, and are most conveniently examined via PDB's WWW-based tool 3DB Browser.
