Announcing the launch of Protein Data Bank China as an Associate Member of the Worldwide Protein Data Bank Partnership
The Protein Data Bank (PDB) is the single global archive of atomic-level, three-dimensional structures of biological macromolecules experimentally determined by macromolecular crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy or three-dimensional cryo-electron microscopy. The PDB is growing continuously, with a recent rapid increase in new structure depositions from Asia. In 2022, the Worldwide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB; https://www.wwpdb.org/) partners welcomed Protein Data Bank China (PDBc; https://www.pdbc.org.cn) to the organization as an Associate Member. PDBc is based in the National Facility for Protein Science in Shanghai which is associated with the Shanghai Advanced Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Shanghai Institute for Advanced Immunochemical Studies and the iHuman Institute of ShanghaiTech University. This letter describes the history of the wwPDB, recently established mechanisms for adding new wwPDB data centers and the processes developed to bring PDBc into the partnership.
