Protein Data Bank


             Today we will learn about PROTEIN DATA BANK. okay so what is exactly this thing??

Protein Data Bank :

  •  A repository for 3D bilogical macromoleculer structure such as proteins and nucleic acids
  •  All data are available to the public  
  • The data, typically obtained by X-ray crystallography or NMR spectroscopy

         
History :


  • it is founded by Brookhaven National Laboratory, New York in 1971.
  • First set of data were entered on punched cards and then with magnetic tapes.
  • the PDB was transferred to the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics (RCSB) in 1998.
  • In 2003, with the formation of the wwPDB, the PDB became an international organization.
