Use Shortlinks to Transition to the PDB Beta Archive
The PDB Beta Archive will replace the current archive July 21, 2027. The PDB Beta Archive organization supports the transition to extended PDB IDs. |
White Paper on Fragment Screening Workshop Available
A workshop was held in March 2026 to establish community consensus for deposition and reuse of high-throughput structural biology data from fragment screening, hit-to-lead studies, and lead-optimization campaigns. |
