Annotation
The nucleic acid database was established in 1991 as a resource for specialists in the field of nucleic acid structure. Its purpose was to gather all of the structural information about nucleic acids that had been obtained from X-ray crystallographic experiments and to organize them in such a way that it would be easy to retrieve the coordinates, the information about the experimental conditions used to derive these coordinates, and the structural information that could be derived from these coordinates. Since many NDB users are not crystallographers, the information provided by the database has been presented in such a way as to maximize its utility for various types of modelling and structure prediction.
