Protein Data Bank (PDB) - Rutgers University

该机构间协议为蛋白质数据库（PDB）提供支持，该数据库是研究生物大分子的数据库资源。PDB档案是关于大型生物分子（包括蛋白质和核酸）3D结构的单一全球信息库。该数据库包含有关实验确定的蛋白质，核酸和复杂组件的结构的信息。美国RCSB PDB是世界蛋白质数据库（wwPDB）的成员，该数据库由作为PDB数据的沉积，数据处理和数据分发中心的组织组成。wwPDB的使命是维护一个单一的蛋白质数据库档案的大分子结构数据，是免费和公开提供给全球社区。PDB数据根据商定的标准进行整理和注释。还提供了各种软件工具和信息分析资源。使用者可透过网站进入资讯系统，根据有关序列、结构及功能的注解，进行简单及高级的搜寻。这些分子被从学生到专业科学家的用户可视化、下载和分析。RCSB PDB网站www.pdb.org每月有来自近140个不同国家的约14万独立访问者访问。每个月大约有500g的数据传输。数据通过网站、ftp服务器（支持ftp和rsync访问）、Web服务和RSS源访问。

This Interagency Agreement provides support for the Protein Data Bank (PDB), a database resource for studying biological macromolecules. The PDB archive is the single worldwide repository of information about the 3D structures of large biological molecules, including proteins and nucleic acids. The database contains information about experimentally-determined structures of proteins, nucleic acids, and complex assemblies. The U.S. RCSB PDB is a member of the Worldwide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB), which consists of organizations that act as deposition, data processing and data distribution centers for PDB data. 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. PDB data is curated and annotated according to agreed upon standards. A variety of software tools and information analysis resources are also provided. Users can access the information system through a web site to 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 PDB website at www.pdb.org is accessed by about 140,000 unique visitors per month from nearly 140 different countries. Around 500 GigaBytes of data are transferred each month. Data are accessed via the website, ftp server (supporting ftp and rsync access), Web Services and RSS feeds.
