The [http://www.wwpdb.org World Wide Protein Data Bank] (wwPDB)<ref>PMID: 14634627</ref><ref>PMID: 17142228</ref> is the internationally recognized sole repository of all published, empirically-determined atomic resolution macromolecular three-dimensional (3D) structure data. Founded in 1971 by Drs. Edgar Meyer and Walter Hamilton at [http://www.bnl.gov Brookhaven National Laboratory]<REF>PMID:875032</REF>, management of the Protein Data Bank was headed by Tom Koestle until 1994 and then by [http://www.weizmann.ac.il/~joel Joel L. Sussman] till 1999, when it was transferred to members of the [http://home.rcsb.org/ Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics (RCSB)]. RCSB is managed at Rutgers University and the San Diego Supercomputer Center. It was directed by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_M._Berman Helen M. Berman] until July 2014, when Stephen K.
