Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics: Protein Data Bank

This webpage, created by the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics (RCSB), provides information about the three-dimensional structure of biological molecules, including proteins and nucleic acids. The RCSB is a member of the Worldwide Protein Database (PDB) and makes the PDB data available to users for research and education. Visitors to the webpage can search the database and access resources related to molecular, structural, and computational biology. Tools to aid visitors in visualization, analysis and comparison of proteins are available. In addition, there are educator resources and curricula for teachers to use in their classroom related to the topic of proteins and nucleic acids.
