Since 1971, the Protein Data Bank has worked closely with the scientific community to archive information about the experimentally-determined structures of proteins, nucleic acids, and complex assemblies. Resources use these data to promote a structural view of biology in research and education, including a relational database, molecular viewers, structure comparison tools, and educational materials.
