ABSTRACT:
The Protein Data Bank is a computer-based archival file for macromol. structures. The Bank stores in a uniform format at. coordinates and partial bond connectivities, as derived from crystallog. studies. Text included in each data entry gives pertinent information for the structure at hand (e.g., species from which the mol. was obtained, resoln. of diffraction data, literature citations, and specifications of secondary structure). In addn., the Protein Data Bank stores structure factors and phases. Input of data and general maintenance functions are at Brookhaven National Lab. All data are available on magnetic tape for public distribution.
