The PDB in JBC
10/14 
Today, most scientific journals require authors to deposit structural data in the PDB, but that was not always the case. The Journal of Biological Chemistry (JBC) was a pioneer in promoting open access; editors encouraged authors to deposit their structures as early as 1977 and made deposition a requirement for publication in 1989.
As the PDB celebrates its 50th anniversary, JBC has published more structures than any other journal. Highlighting its synergy with the PDB, JBC assembled a collection of JBC Reviews celebrating the scientific areas that have been profoundly touched by the creation of the PDB, and a virtual issue collecting JBC articles that describe a few classic structures and most highly cited papers. These JBC reviews were assembled by Lila Gierasch (JBC) and Helen Berman (Guest Editor).
