| Research Abstract |
The Protein Data Bank (PDB) is the sole international repository for three-dimensional structure data of biological macromolecules and is managed by the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics (RCSB), USA.The RCSB is a consortium composed of Rutgers University, the National Instjtute of Standards and Technology, and the San Diego Supercomputer Center. PDB entries are deposited via WEB-based tools over the Internet at three sites, Rutgers University, European Bioinformatics Institute and Osaka University, in the world. The deposited PDB entries are annotated and processed at each site and are then combined at Rutgers University.
The Institute for Protein Research, Osaka University, Japan started to serve as the deposition and processing center of PDB entries on July 1, 2000 for crystallographers and NMR spectroscopists in Asian and Oceanic regions. Since then, we have collected and processed a total of 1271 PDB entries as of February 26, 2003. We operate ADIT (http://pdbdep.protein.osaka-u.ac.jp/), a Web-based PDB input tool and the same one used by the RCSB. We have now four PDB annotators. The PDB activities at Osaka is now operated by the organization PDBj (The Protein Data Bank of Japan, http://pdbj.protein.osaka-u.ac.jp/).
