Abstract

Protein Data Bank (PDB), jointly founded in 1971 by Brookhaven National Laboratory, USA, and the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre, UK, is the single global archive of experimentally determined biological macromolecular structures. PDB deposition is mandatory for publication in most scientific journals, which means 'no PDB deposition, no structural publication'. The current PDB archive contains more than 180,000 entries and includes many structures from Asian institutions. The first protein structure from Japan was that of cytochrome c determined by Prof Masao Kakudo's group at the Institute for Protein Research, Osaka University, in 1971 at a resolution of 4 Å, and a subsequent atomic structure at 2.3 Å resolution was deposited to PDB in 1976 as the 1st Asian and 21st entry of the entire PDB archive. Since then, 317 protein structures whose primary citation was the Journal of Biochemistry (J. Biochem.) have been deposited to PDB. Based on this long history between PDB and J. Biochem., a statistical analysis of all structural reports in J. Biochem. has been carried out using the relational database system at PDBj (https://pdbj.org) and reviewed the yearly distribution, resolution, quality of structure, type of target protein, number of citations and comparison against other major journals.
