20 Years of PDBe

20 Years of PDBe

To mark the 20th birthday of ÀÖÌìÌÃÓÎÏ·ÍøÕ¾'s Protein Data Bank in Europe resource (although it was initially called the Macromolecular Structure Database, MSD), Rosemary Wilson has written "Form follows function", which looks at the importance of PDBe and the archives it manages, as well as its links

Effective data visualisation is the key to conveying the meaning of the data. At PDBe we have a variety of widgets on our pages to display protein structure data.

Exciting visualisation update

Exciting visualisation update

PDBe is excited to announce some major new updates to our pages at pdbe.org We now have a new, streamlined 3D viewer (LiteMol) that enables visualisation of electron density in the browser with interactive changing of contour levels.

PDBe deposition maintenance 26-30 Aug

The wwPDB deposition system at PDBe will be unavailable between 26 and 30 August due to essential site maintenance.

wwPDB Validation Server Upgrade

wwPDB Validation Server Upgrade

The new wwPDB Validation Server at https://validate.wwpdb.org now generates preliminary validation reports for structures solved by NMR and 3D Electron Microscopy, in addition to X-ray crystallography.
