The Worldwide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB) consists of organizations that act as deposition, data processing
and distribution centers for PDB data.1
Members are:
RCSB PDB (USA),
PDBe (Europe) and
PDBj (Japan),
and BMRB (USA).
The wwPDB's mission is to maintain a single PDB archive of macromolecular structural data
that is freely and publicly available to the global community.

Landmark HIV Capsid Structures Released in PDB
Two complete HIV-capsid structures, both of unprecedented size, are described in this week's
issue of Nature and released in the Protein Data Bank (PDB; wwpdb.org). This represents a significant advance in the field of structural biology and a milestone for the PDB.
PDB entries 3J3Q and 3J3Y are models based on cryo-electron microscopy data and use of a molecular dynamics flexible-fitting method. They contain 1356 and 1176 protein chains, respectively, and over two million atoms each. The HIV-1 capsid is the protein envelope that encloses and protects the RNA genome of the virus. An important subject of study, the full capsid has been a difficult target for structural characterization due to its extremely large size and morphological variability.
