RCSB Citation

I am planning to join Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey and came to know about the RCSB PDB international community. Will you provide details about the RCSB citation along with RCSB PDB Users and Impact also provide university address and contacts for doing enquiry?

The Protein Data Bank (PDB) archive is the single worldwide repository of information about the 3D structures of large biological molecules, including proteins and nucleic acids.

The PDB was established in 1971 at Brookhaven National Laboratory under the leadership of Walter Hamilton and originally contained 7 structures.

RCSB following citation:
