The Impact of Structural Genomics on the Protein Data Bank

The advent of structural genomics presents new challenges to the archive of biomacromolecular structures — the Protein Data Bank (PDB). As technologies involved in structure determination have advanced, both the number and size of structures available in the PDB have increased rapidly. The structural genomics initiatives are creating a large amount of data that needs to be tracked, archived, and made easily available. The PDB has developed tools to facilitate the rapid deposition of data produced by the structural genomics initiatives and has created databases to track the progress of the work.
