4.   PDB (Protein Data Bank) of Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics (RCSB)

The single international repository for the processing and distribution of experimentally determined three-dimensional macromolecular structure data. The PDB is managed by Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, the San Diego Supercomputer Center at the University of California, San Diego, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. International participants in data deposition and processing include the European Bioinformatics Institute Macromolecular Structure Database group (UK) and the Institute for Protein Research at Osaka University (Japan). There is also a worldwide network of distribution sites as listed at http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/mirrors.html.
