EM Data Bank
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The EM Data Bank (EMDB) collects 3D EM maps and associated experimental data determined using electron microscopy of biolofical specimens. It was established in 2002 at the MSD group of the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI), where the European site of the wwPDB consortium is located.
It provides both the
Under the NIH Unified Data Resource for CryoEM, the Research Collaboration for Structural Biology (RCSB) also acts as a deposition, data processing and distribution center for EMDB data, while the National Center for Macromolecular Imaging (NCMI) is a collaborative partner in providing services and tools concerning the EMDB.
This site is only site that provides three-dimensional density maps for non-viruses (which is filled by the Viper EMDB at Scripps).
