The Worldwide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB) consists of organizations that act as deposition, data processing and distribution centers for PDB data. The founding members are RCSB PDB (USA), PDBe (Europe) and PDBj (Japan)1. The BMRB (USA) group joined the wwPDB in 2006. The mission of the wwPDB is to maintain a single Protein Data Bank Archive of macromolecular structural data that is freely and publicly available to the global community.

This site provides information about services provided by the individual member organizations and about projects undertaken by the wwPDB.

wwPDB Statement on Retraction of PDB Entries

13-April-2011

Announcement: PDB Archive Version 4.0 to be Released Summer 2011

The wwPDB has performed an ambitious review of the PDB archive and has created a new set of corrected files that will be released in Summer 2011. Version 4.0 PDB entries will follow the PDB Exchange Dictionary v.4.0.

The entire archive has been reviewed and remediated with the objective of tackling complex problems. These include the representation of biological assemblies, residual B factors, peptide inhibitors and antibiotics, and entries in the nonstandard crystal frame. A description of the review and resulting changes and corrections is available (PDF).

A time-stamped snapshot of the PDB archive before this release will be available from ftp://snapshots.wwpdb.org/.

Users who maintain local copies of the wwPDB FTP will have to download the entire archive. Scripts to help in this process are available at www.wwpdb.org/downloads.html.

These data reflect the wwPDB's continuing commitment to providing accurate and detailed data to users worldwide.

Questions may be sent to info@wwpdb.org.

Special Symposium Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the PDB

In October 2011, the Worldwide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB) will host a scientific symposium celebrating the 40th anniversary of the inception of the PDB, and the many scientific contributions it archives. spacer

The program will showcase the scientific impact made by structural biology during the past 40 years with a distinguished panel of scientists who have been instrumental in the development of the PDB and structural biology.

The meeting will begin with an evening reception and plenary session on Friday, and conclude with lunch on Sunday. For details, please see the meeting website at meetings.cshl.edu/meetings/pdb40.shtml.
