| | Protein Data Bank |
 | | This data, typically obtained by X-ray crystallography or NMR spectroscopy, is submitted by biologists from around the world, is released into the public domain, and can be accessed for free. |
 | | The structural data can be used to visualize the biomolecules with appropriate software, such as rasmol[?], chime or a VRML plugin. |
 | | Founded in 1971 by Brookhaven National Laboratory, the Protein Data Bank was transferred in 1998 to the Research Collaboratoy for Structural Bioinformatics (RCSB), which is composed of Rutgers University, the University of Wisconsin, Madison, NIST and the San Diego Supercomputer Center[?]. |
