Welcome
A Structural View of Biology
This resource is powered by the Protein Data Bank archive-information about the 3D shapes of proteins, nucleic acids, and complex assemblies that helps students and researchers understand all aspects of biomedicine and agriculture, from protein synthesis to health and disease.
As a member of the wwPDB, the RCSB PDB curates and annotates PDB data.
The RCSB PDB builds upon the data by creating tools and resources for research and education in molecular biology, structural biology, computational biology, and beyond.
Use this website to access curated and integrated biological macromolecular information in the context of function, biological processes, evolution, pathways, and disease states.

Jsmol and Jmol
JSmol,
the JavaScript version of Jmol offers several
options for display and analysis. Launch the viewer from any entry's Structure Summary page or by entering an ID below. The Jmol
Applet remains available from the 3D View page, and will continue to work in most browsers. Learn more
about Jsmol/Jmol.

Sequence & Structure Alignment
RCSB PDB's Comparison Tool calculates pairwise sequence (blast2seq, Needleman-Wunsch, and Smith-Waterman) and structure alignments (FATCAT, CE, Mammoth, TM-Align, TopMatch).
Comparisons can be made for any protein in the PDB archive and for customized or local files not in the PDB.
Special features include support for both rigid-body and flexible alignments and detection of circular permutations.

Search by Unreleased & Access New Entries
The PDB archive is updated weekly in two phases
Phase I: Every Saturday by 3:00 UTC, for every new entry, wwPDB website provides sequence(s) (amino acid or nucleotide) for each distinct polymer and, where appropriate, the InChI string(s) for each distinct ligand and the crystallization pH value(s).
Phase II: Every Wednesday by 00:00 UTC, all new and modified data entries will be updated at each of the wwPDB FTP sites.
As of
Tuesday Apr 12, 2016 at 5 PM PDT
there are
