Protein Data Bank in Europe

Macromolecular structure and function data

The team develops essential macromolecular structure resources and tools for biologists and other life scientists. As a founding partner of the Worldwide Protein Data Bank organisation, we work on the Protein Data Bank (PDB). We also manage the community-led PDBe – Knowledge Base resource and the AlphaFold Protein Structure Database, a collaboration with DeepMind.

Protein Data Bank in Europe (PDBe)

PDBe is a founding member of the Worldwide Protein Data Bank which collects, organises and disseminates data on biological macromolecular structures. In collaboration with the other Worldwide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB) partners, we work to collate, maintain and provide access to the global repository of macromolecular structure models, the Protein Data Bank (PDB).

PDBe provides an integrated resource of high-quality macromolecular structures and related data, making it available to the biomedical community via intuitive user interfaces.

PDBe Knowledge-Base (PDBe-KB)

PDBe-KB is a community-driven resource managed by the PDBe team, collating functional annotations and predictions for structure data in the PDB archive. PDBe-KB is a collaborative effort between PDBe and a diverse group of bioinformatics resources and research teams.

PDBe-KB contains data contributed by projects such as SIFTS and FunPDBe and aims to place structures from the PDB in their biological context.

AlphaFold DB

AlphaFold DB provides open access to protein structure predictions for the human proteome and 20 other key organisms to accelerate scientific research.

AlphaFold is an AI system developed by DeepMind that predicts a protein’s 3D structure from its amino acid sequence. It regularly achieves accuracy competitive with experimental structure determination.

DeepMind and EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) have partnered to create AlphaFold DB to make these predictions freely available to the scientific community.
