- international database of 3-D biological macromolecular structures
- accepts direct submissions of structure data
- maintained by a nonprofit organization, the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics (RCSB), associated with Rutgers University, San Diego Supercomputer Center, and the Biotechnology Division of the National Institute of Standards and Technology
- contains molecular structures of proteins and nucleic acids, primarily structures experimentally-derived by X-Ray crystallography and NMR
- also includes some theoretical models, though they are not encouraged.
