As detailed [http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/static.do?p=general_information/news_publications/news/news_2007.html#20070904 here], the unremediated PDB archive from before August 1, 2007 remains available at [ftp://ftp.rcsb.org via ftp at the RCSB Protein Data Bank].<br>
Use the simple interface [http://www.umass.edu/microbio/chime/pe_beta/pe/protexpl/unremed.htm here at Eric Martz's UMASS site] to easily get unremediated pdb files [ftp://ftp.rcsb.org via ftp at the RCSB Protein Data Bank].<br>

These files come back in a compressed form. Eric Martz's site lists Winzip as an alternative for PC but this program is not free once a trial period expires; Stuffit expander failed to uncompress such a file on a PC although Eric lists it as useful on Macs. I found to uncompress them, I could upload them to the Web hosting server I have access to and use 'zcat -d <nowiki>[FILE NAME]</nowiki>' to have it show an uncompressed form in my Secure Shell client using logging enabled to save a file of the output locally on my own drive.
