The [[Protein Data Bank|World Wide Protein Data Bank]] (WWPDB) is where all experimentally-determined published protein structures are made freely available. Each model has a unique accession code, called a [[PDB code]]. One model of human insulin, shown at right has the PDB code [[3i40]].

Many examples are illustrated in the [http://atlas.molviz.org Atlas of Macromolecules]. Looking for a model of a specific protein?
