All published, empirically-determined, atomic-resolution, macromolecular 3D structures are available in the [[World Wide Protein Data Bank]].
[[Empirical models|Empirically-determined]] models are usually the most reliable. All published, empirically-determined, atomic-resolution, macromolecular 3D structures are available in the [[World Wide Protein Data Bank]].


Each model in the PDB has a unique 4-character identification code ([[PDB ID]]) that begins with a numeral, and has letters or numerals for the last 3 characters . Examples are 1d66, 4mdh, 9ins.
