Every molecular model ([[Atomic coordinate file|atomic coordinate file]]) in the [[Protein Data Bank]] (PDB) has a unique accession or identification code. These codes are always 4 characters in length. The first character is a numeral, while the last three characters can be either numerals or letters. In the past, the first character was always a numeral in the range 1-9. Although there appear to be no entries beginning with "0", its exclusion [http://www.rcsb.org/robohelp/index.htm#search_database/pdb_identifier.htm may have been relaxed]. | Every molecular model ([[Atomic coordinate file|atomic coordinate file]]) in the [[Protein Data Bank]] (PDB) has a unique accession or identification code.
