The first 2019-nCoV coronavirus structure of the main protease has been released today (http://PDBe.org/6LU7). This is a result of a huge effort from Prof. Rao's group at ShanghaiTech University. For more information on the structure and related data available in the PDB visit
The PDB art in our calendar for February focuses on a small yet vital DNA binding domain. To find out more about this domain and how it inspired this artwork, visit
There are 214 new entries in the PDB this week, including this cryoEM structure of Calcium homeostasis modulator protein 2 (6vai), published in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology. Find all the latest entries at PDBe.org/latest
A very happy Chinese New Year to our followers. Here are some bacteriophage sky lanterns in celebration! The year of the Rat has officially begun, and there are over 3000 PDB entries from Rat proteins: https://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe/entry/search/i ndex/…
The next round of CAPRI is underway, with target 162 opening on Feb 3rd! This community-wide experiment aims to test methods that predict macromolecular interactions. If you want to find out more, visit the CAPRI webpages at
The wwPDB EM validation meeting is being hosted here European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) by Protein Data Bank in Europe (PDBe), EMDB and EMPIAR. It brings together representatives from other wwPDB partners (RCSB Protein Data Bank, Protein Data Bank JapanÔľąPDBj„ÄĀśó•śú¨ŤõčÁôĹŤ≥™śßčťÄ†„Éá„É ľ„āŅ„Éź„É≥„āĮÔľČ), refinement software and the #cryoEM community, to discuss the direction of EM validation methods.

There are some dangerous entries in the PDB this week. This NMR structure (6px8) of a neurotoxin from the venom of the assassin fly is probably the most deadly! Find all of this week's new structures at PDBe.org/latest
The wwPDB will soon be accepting upload of all NMR experimental data in a single file, simplifying the process of deposition, storage and access of this data. For more information on this change, visit the wwPDB news pages at https://www.wwpdb.org/news/news…
This week's PDB release contains 273 new entries, including this Iota toxin structure (6klw). This toxin structure, related to anthrax, was solved by cryoEM at a reported 2.9 Angstrom resolution. Find all the new entries at http://PDBe.org/latest
Does your New Year's resolution include finding new and exciting methods for accessing PDB data? No? Well maybe it should! There's still time to sign up for our European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) training course 'Mining PDBe and PDBe-KB using a graph database'. Sign up now at: http://bit.ly/EBIgraph
This week's release has only 90 PDB entries (not so many release requests over Christmas!). It includes various conformations of this potassium uptake transporter ring, published in Elife. Find all the latest entries at http://PDBe.org/latest
Our first artwork of 2020 is this fantastic Toxins artwork. The artwork depicts various wild animals along with the mambalgin peptide, from black mamba venom. Find out more about these peptides and why researchers are so interested in them at
Today is Louis Pasteur's birthday. As well as his discoveries in immunology and vaccination, he was also the first person to demonstrate molecular chirality. This video shows the left and right-handed forms of amino acid leucine - we only make proteins with the left-handed form!
ūüéĶ All I want for Christmas is... ūüéĶ a new PDB release! 214 new entries await you this Christmas morning, including these multiple conformers of Human DNA polymerase delta, showing how the complex threads a DNA strand, from the de Biasio group at University of Leicester. Find them all at http://PDBe.org/latest
Today is our last day in the office at PDBe before the Christmas break. Don't worry, all our services should be up and running, but we will be unlikely to offer any support until 2nd Jan. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all our users and depositors! (image created with pdbwords by Kresten Lindorff-Larsen: https://github.com/KULL-Centre/pdbwords)< br>
Are you interested in solving complex scientific questions using data from the PDB and have some experience in accessing PDB data programmatically? Along with the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) training team, we are running a workshop on using the PDBe graph database to create powerful PDB data queries. Apply by 31 Jan at .
This week's release sees 240 new PDB entries released into the wild! One of these is the structure of the major strawberry allergen, published in the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry (ACS Publications). Find all the new entries at PDBe.org/latest
The first video in the EMBL-EBI series of molecular machines of Christmas is focused on the Signal Recognition Particle (SRC). This useful complex helps sort your 'protein luggage' in the cell, much like your luggage tags do at the airport! You can view the structure of SRC in complex with RNA and its receptor using Mol* at http://PDBe.org/4c7o/3d
