Once a PDB code is assigned to a given structure, it's forever, even in those cases when a structure is withdrawn (retired from the database), like [[3luw]], or superceded by a newer or corrected structure, like [[1ace]]. If requesting a page for a superseded structure, like [[1aak]], Proteopedia will automatically display the newest structure [[2aak]]. Look for the explanation in the 'Structural Highlights' section of each page.

In May, 2017, the PDB announced plans for a versioning system. This would allow multiple versions of the same entry to keep a single PDB code. See [#Future Plans for Expanded PDB Codes|below].
