Vision

Sustain freely accessible, interoperating Core Archives of structure data and metadata for biological macromolecules as an enduring public good to promote basic and applied research and education across the sciences.

Mission

• Manage the wwPDB Core Archives as a public good according to the FAIR Principles.
• Provide expert deposition, validation, biocuration, and remediation services at no charge to Data Depositors worldwide.
• Ensure universal open access to public domain structural biology data with no limitations on usage.
• Develop and promote community-endorsed data standards for archiving and exchange of global structural biology data.

Electron Microscopy Data Bank

Collects 3D volumes & associated information of macromolecular complexes & subcellular structures from electron cryo microscopy & electron cryo tomography; develops resources for searching, data mining, analyzing, validating & visualizing data.

Biological Magnetic Resonance Data Bank

Collects NMR data from any experiment and captures assigned chemical shifts, coupling constants, and peak lists for a variety of macromolecules; contains derived annotations such as hydrogen exchange rates, pKa values, and relaxation parameters.
