PDB History. Protein Data Bank

Fra: https://www.rcsb.org/pages/about-us/history

The PDB was established in 1971 at Brookhaven National Laboratory under the leadership of Walter Hamilton and originally contained 7 structures. After Hamilton’s untimely death, Tom Koetzle began to lead the PDB in 1973, and then Joel Sussman in 1994. Led by Helen M. Berman, the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics (RCSB) became responsible for the management of the PDB in 1998 in response to an RFP and a lengthy review process.  Three institutions were involved: Rutgers, UCSD/SDSC, and CARB/NIST.

In 2003, the Worldwide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB) was formed to maintain a single PDB archive of macromolecular structural data that is freely and publicly available to the global community. It consists of organizations that act as deposition, data processing and distribution centers for PDB data.

CARB/NIST left RCSB PDB in 2005 (see Emeritus RCSB PDB Leadership).

Stephen K. Burley became RCSB PDB Director in 2014. Helen M. Berman currently serves as Director Emerita.

UCSF joined RCSB PDB in 2019.
