Protein data bank

Research Collaborators for structural Bioinformatics Protein Data Bank (RCBS PDB) began in 1970’s by group of the young crystallographers, including Edgar Meyer, Gerson Coheon and Helen M Berman.[1] The project was initiated in 1971 to list the structures of all the amino acids using neutron diffraction and has grown as a major international resource for structural biology containing more than 80,000 entries including proteins: 77,529; nucleic acids: 2420; proteins/ DNA complexes: 3795 and other: 24 (totally 83,768 entries)
