<I>Entries pdb_00008reh and pdb_00008rtj are each structures of lysozyme C. These entries have 100% sequence identity, but were determined under different conditions and thus have slightly different structural confirmations.</I>Entries pdb_00008reh and pdb_00008rtj are each structures of lysozyme C.

The constantly-growing PDB is a reflection of the research that is happening in laboratories across the world. This can make it both exciting and challenging to use the database in research and education.

PDB-101's Guide to Understanding PDB Data was created to help users navigate through the contents of the archive without having a detailed background in structural biology.

Topics cover biological assemblies, molecular graphics programs, R-value and R-free, and more.

A section on Sequence Redundancy and Clustering has been added to the Introduction to Sequences in the PDB. Visit PDB-101's Guide to learn more.
