Journal of Biological Chemistry (JBC) has published a collection of reviews in celebration of PDB50.

This issue, edited by Lila Gierasch (JBC) and Helen Berman (wwPDB Foundation, RCSB PDB), contains 17 reviews highlighting the impact of the PDB archive across biological chemistry.

JBC was one of the first journals to require PDB deposition of structural data reported in accepted articles. In addition, more structures in the PDB have been published in JBC than in any other journal.
