Explore the History of the PDB

04/27 

Throughout 2021, the wwPDB will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the PDB archive (see wwpdb.org/pdb50 and rcsb.org/pdb50).

Explore a historical overview of the PDB, including a timeline that tracks highlights from the PDB and the structural biology community.

Early PDB structures set the foundation for the archive.
