Protein Data Bank in Europe - Anonymous FTP Account

Welcome to the PDBe anonymous FTP account at ftp.ebi.ac.uk

This FTP site provides access to data on the 3D structure of biological macromolecules.

This directory structure is a mirror of the wwPDB archive maintained by the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics (RCSB)

Structure data is located in pub/databases/rcsb/pdb/data/structures.

Entry files are date-stamped to show the date they were released.

Note: Users should switch to binary mode before downloading data files.

Entry Directory Layout:

    data/status/yyyymmdd/update.ls-lR

        * contains ls-lR listing of added, modified and obsolete entries for that week.

    data/structures/divided/pdb/nn/*

        * is originally last quarterly full release BUT then is modified
          to include withdrawn (removed), replacement, and additional
          entries since last quarterly full release

        * is the current full release (last quarterly plus updates)

        * divided into 2-letter directories

    data/structures/divided/mmCIF/nn/*
    data/structures/divided/nmr_restraints/nn/*
    data/structures/divided/structure_factors/nn/*

        * analogous to the divided/pdb directory, containing mmCIF,
          nmr restraint, and structure factor files, respectively.

    data/structures/all/*

        * analogous to the divided directory, containing pdb,
          mmCIF, nmr restraint, and structure factor directories,
          with symbolic links to files in the divided subdirectories.
          These are not divided into two-letter directories

    data/structures/obsolete/pdb/nn/*
    data/structures/obsolete/mmCIF/nn/*
    data/structures/obsolete/nmr_restraints/nn/*
    data/structures/obsolete/structure_factors/nn/*

        * analogous to the divided directories, but containing
          obsolete files.

Help File Descriptions:

    ls-lR            full listing of all files in FTP

To get one of these files, type "get filename" then logout to view it on your local system.

This is the ../pdb directory of the wwPDB ftp archive.

Directories available from this level are:

    derived_data/  Information derived from PDB files
    software/        Software provided by the PDB
    doc/               Documentation
    data/              Atomic coordinates, experimental information, HET dictionary and
                         information on monomers
