Protein Data Bank

联邦政府的一些机构支持基础和应用研究，旨在发现、理解和应用蛋白质和其他生物大分子在原子水平上的结构信息。在20世纪70年代早期，晶体学家和其他研究人员认识到拥有一个这样的信息中心库的重要性。这承认了拥有一个此类信息的中央储存库的重要性。这种认识导致了一个名为蛋白质数据库的知识库的创建，该数据库目前位于罗格斯大学。蛋白质数据库是实验确定的大分子结构数据的主要国际储存库，包括蛋白质，核酸，碳水化合物，肽和病毒。

A number of agencies of the Federal Government support both basic and applied research that aims at discovering, understanding, and applying structural information about proteins and other biological macromolecules at the atomic level. In the early 1970's, crystallographers and other researchers recognized the importance of having a central repository of such information. This recognized the importance of having a central repository of such information. This recognition lead to the creation of a repository called the Protein Data Bank that is presently housed at Rutgers University. The Protein Data Bank serves as the primary international repository for experimentally determined macromolecular structural data including proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, peptides and viruses.
