“In this talk I will trace how the Protein Data Bank (PDB) evolved over more than fifty years and the roles played by science, technology, and community in making the PDB a powerful tool for protein structure prediction and design. The ways in which the PDB aligns with the principles of community building, as studied by the Stakeholder Alliance, will be described.”
— Helen M. Berman
