Protein Data Bank Hits 50,000 Structures

The Protein Data Bank (PDB) archive of biomacromolecule structures recently reached a significant milestone in its 37-year history: the holdings now contain more than 50,000 current experimental structures. The worldwide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB) has seen the archive double in size since 2004, and is expected to reach 150,000 by 2014.
