The Electron Microscopy Data Bank (EMDB) at EBI

The EMDB is a public repository for electron microscopy density maps of macromolecular complexes and subcellular structures. It covers a variety of techniques, including single-particle analysis, electron tomography, and electron (2D) crystallography.

It is operated jointly by EBI and the Research Collaboratory for Structural Biology at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. Depositions to the data bank can be made at both sites.

EMDB forms the NIH Unified Data Resource for Cryo-Electron Microscopy, operated through a joint NIH grant to Baylor College of Medicine (Houston, TX), the RCSB and EBI.
