Protein Data Bank
From Proteopedia
The World Wide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB) is the internationally recognized sole repository of all published, empirically-determined macromolecular three-dimensional (3D) structure data. In 2008, it has three official branches: the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics (USA), the European Bioinformatics Institute (UK), and the Protein Data Bank Japan.
New Releases Cycle
The wwPDB releases new entries once per week. These can be seen by clicking on the most recent release date, shown at the upper right of the main page at [1].
Many derivative databases copy, derive information from, or add value to the atomic coordinate files available from the wwPDB. Often, these automatically update their databases weekly, shortly after the new releases become available at the PDB. Proteopedia is one example.
