Why join PDBe-KB?
PDBe-KB provides programmatic access guided by the FAIR principles to functional and biophysical annotations of molecular structures. Annotations are integrated with the core PDBe data, and made accessible via the PDBe graph API endpoints, and contributes for building the PDBe-KB aggregated views .
Every annotation displayed on PDBe and PDBe-KB links to the original data provider, clearly attributing their contributions, generating traffic and increasing visibility.
- Data providers gain increased visibility and reach more users
- Users gain easier access to comprehensive data
- PDBe-KB can consequently provide a better service to the scientific community
How to join the consortium?
If you are interested in making your valuable functional annotations available to the scientific community through PDBe-KB, please email us at pdbekb_help@ebi.ac.uk or fill in this brief survey to provide a description of your annotations.
After the initial discussions, collaborating partners provide their annotations according to the PDBe-KB data exchange format . The data files are then transferred, validated and integrated in the PDBe graph database . The integrated annotations are exposed via the PDBe graph API endpoint . These API endpoints power the PDBe-KB aggregated views, such as the Aggregated Views for Proteins .
