Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics (RCSB)

The Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics (RCSB) is a organization that manages the Protein Data Bank (PDB), a global digital repository of 3D structures of proteins, nucleic acids, and other biological molecules. These detailed models help scientists understand how these molecules function and interact in living organisms. RCSB provides tools and resources for researchers, educators, and students to access, analyze, and visualize this structural data. By fostering collaboration and data sharing, RCSB advances scientific knowledge in fields like biochemistry, medicine, and drug development.
