We will be holding a luncheon seminar at the 26th Annual Meeting of the Protein Science Society of Japan
https://aeplan.jp/pssj2026/
on 19 June, 2026. Online participation via Zoom is also available!
Seminar title
Are you ready for the New PDB Beta Archive and Extended PDB IDs?
Seminar abstract
As the Protein Data Bank is running out of 4-character IDs, we expand the ID system to 12 digits. In preparation, the world-wide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB) recently launched the new PDB archive, "PDB Beta," which is available for testing. The directory structure of this new archive is based on the expanded ID, and it will become the main archive after the 4-character PDB IDs are depleted. This Beta archive contains all PDB data and is updated weekly. This seminar will explain the current and future structure of PDB IDs and public archives, as well as the phasing out of the old PDB format. There will also be a Q&A session. We look forward to your participation!
