Macromolecular structure information and databases

The current status and future outlook of macromolecular structure databases and information handling, with particular reference to European databases, are reviewed, Issues concerning the efficiency with which data are represented, validated, archived and accessed are discussed in view of the fast growing body of information on structures of biological macromolecules.
