The PDB anticipates that it will run out of all 4-character PDB IDs by 2029! 🤯Anticipating this, we are planning for a PDB ID with an extended length and prepending “PDB” - e.g. "1abc" will become "pdb_00001abc" ⬇️ Read more ⬇️ www.wwpdb.org/news/news?ye...

This week's #PDB release has 335 new entries, including this cryo-EM structure of a phage-inducible chromosomal island-like element procapsid-like particle (pdbe.org/8G1R). Find all the new entries at pdbe.org/latest

232 new entries in #PDBrelease (pdbe.org/latest)! Here is the cryo-EM derived structure of the bacteriophage 80α capsid containing DNA that infect 𝑆. 𝑎𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑢𝑠 (pdbe.org/8vd4). Such structures provide understanding about capsid assembly and DNA packaging.

As we head into 2024, let's take one final look back at 2023 and how the year unfolded in the PDB archive. There were 14488 entries released last year but what more can we find out about those structures ⚖️? A thread 1/10 🧵
