<p>In <a href="Biology" title="Biology">biology</a>, a <b>protein structure database</b> is a database that is <a href="Data_modeling" title="Data modeling">modeled</a> around the various <a href="Protein_structure#Protein_structure_determination" title="Protein structure">experimentally determined</a> <a href="Protein_structure" title="Protein structure">protein structures</a>. The aim of most protein structure databases is to organize and annotate the protein structures, providing the biological community access to the experimental data in a useful way. Data included in protein structure databases often includes three-dimensional coordinates as well as experimental information, such as unit cell dimensions and angles for <a href="X-ray_crystallography#Biological_macromolecular_crystallography" title="X-ray crystallography">x-ray crystallography</a> determined structures. Though most instances, in this case either proteins or a specific structure determinations of a protein, also contain sequence information and some databases even provide means for performing sequence based queries, the primary attribute of a structure database is structural information, whereas <a href="Sequence_database" title="Sequence database">sequence databases</a> focus on sequence information, and contain no structural information for the majority of entries. Protein structure databases are critical for many efforts in <a href="Computational_biology" title="Computational biology">computational biology</a> such as <a href="Drug_design#Structure-based" title="Drug design">structure based drug design</a>, both in developing the computational methods used and in providing a large experimental dataset used by some methods to provide insights about the function of a protein.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>The Protein Data Bank (PDB) was established in 1971 as the central <a href="Archive" title="Archive">archive</a> of all experimentally determined protein structure data. Today the PDB is maintained by an international consortia collectively known as the <a href="Worldwide_Protein_Data_Bank" title="Worldwide Protein Data Bank">Worldwide Protein Data Bank</a> (wwPDB).
