The Protein Data Bank is a dataset published in Acta Crystallographica Section D Biological Crystallography (2002). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 20.7, placing it in the top 4.5% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 2,626 times, with 200 citing works in its 1-hop citation network.
The Protein Data Bank [PDB; Berman, Westbrook et al. (2000), Nucleic Acids Res. 28, 235-242; http://www.pdb.org/] is the single worldwide archive of primary structural data of biological macromolecules. Many secondary sources of information are derived from PDB data. It is the starting point for studies in structural bioinformatics. This article describes the goals of the PDB, the systems in place for data deposition and access, how to obtain further information and plans for the future development of the resource. The reader should come away with an understanding of the scope of the PDB and what is provided by the resource.
FAIR checklist signals are shown for context only and do not affect DataRank scoring.
Base Score Contribution
1.2
From this paper's citation signal
Citation Network Contribution
19.5
From 200 citing papers with measurable signal
Ranked by citation count — the same ordering the engine uses when summing log1p(Cq) over citers.
DataRank blends this paper's own citation count with the influence of the papers that cite it. Here, roughly 6% comes from its base citations and 94% from the citation network (200 citing papers contributed measurable signal).
Citers are pulled from OpenAlex sorted by cited_by_count:descand capped per paper, so when the cap binds we keep the highest-signal references and the score is reproducible across reruns.
