TL;DR
3DB, the Three-Dimensional Database of Biomolecular Structures that will continue to operate from Brookhaven National Laboratory, will be a highly sophisticated knowledge-based system for archiving and accessing structural information that combines the advantages of object oriented and relational database systems.
Abstract
The Protein Data Bank (PDB) is an archive of experimentally determined three-dimensional structures of proteins, nucleic acids, and other biological macromolecules with a 25 year history of service to a global community. PDB is being replaced by 3DB, the Three-Dimensional Database of Biomolecular Structures that will continue to operate from Brookhaven National Laboratory. 3DB will be a highly sophisticated knowledge-based system for archiving and accessing structural information that combines the advantages of object oriented and relational database systems. 3DB will operate as a direct-deposition archive that will also accept third-party supplied annotations. Conversion of PDB to 3DB will be evolutionary, providing a high degree of compatibility with existing software.
