New archive snapshots are available. A snapshot of the PDB Core archive (https://files.wwpdb.org/, https://s3.rcsb.org) as of January 1, 2025 has been added to https://s3snapshots.rcsb.org/, snapshots.rcsb.org (rsync -rlpy -a -v --delete snapshots.rcsb.org:: .), and ftp://snapshots.pdbj.org. Snapshots have been archived annually since 2005 to provide readily identifiable data sets for research on the PDB archive.
The directory 20250101 includes the 229,564 experimentally-determined structure and experimental data available at that time. Atomic coordinate and related metadata are available in PDBx/mmCIF, PDB, and XML file formats. The date and time stamp of each file indicates the last time the file was modified. The snapshot of PDB Core Archive is 1,437 GB.
A snapshot of the EMDB Core archive (ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/emdb/) as of January 01, 2025 can be found in ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/emdb_vault/20250101/ and ftp://snapshots.pdbj.org/20250101/. The snapshot of EMDB Core Archive contains map files and their metadata within XML files for both released and obsoleted entries (41,367 and 301, respectively) and is 21 TB in size.
