As a member of the wwPDB, the RCSB PDB curates and annotates PDB data according to agreed upon standards. The RCSB PDB also provides a variety of tools and resources. Users can perform simple and advanced searches based on annotations relating to sequence, structure and function. These molecules are visualized, downloaded, and analyzed by users who range from students to specialized scientists.
The RCSB Protein Data Bank (RCSB PDB) provides a variety of tools and resources for studying the structures of biological macromolecules and their relationships to sequence, function, and disease. It serves as a global repository for 3D structural data of proteins and nucleic acids, determined by X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and cryo-electron microscopy. The site offers detailed information on molecular structures, including visualization tools, educational resources, and research data.
