Welcome
RCSB Protein Data Bank (RCSB PDB) enables breakthroughs in science and education by providing access and tools for exploration, visualization, and analysis of:
Experimentally-determined 3D structures from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) archive | |
Computed Structure Models (CSM) from AlphaFold DB and ModelArchive |
These data can be explored in context of external annotations providing a structural view of biology.
