Author Profiles display a vertical timeline of the structures that list a particular researcher as a Deposition Author or Primary Citation Author. To jump to a specific time period, select a year from the right navigation menu or scroll down the page to load subsequent years.

The structures shown are ordered by deposition date and can be sorted to display either the newest or the oldest structures first. Images are linked to the Structure Summary page for the entry.

The first instance of a protein or protein complex is displayed in larger font than subsequent examples of similar molecules.

To access this feature, select the link from the left hand RCSB PDB menu, or from the PDB-101 Features pull-down menu.

For individual profiles, type an author's last name into the search box of the Author Profiles page and click one of the available results. Author Profile URLs are permanent links that can be copied and shared. 

For an example, visit J. Deisenhofer's Author Profile.
