How is 3D structure determined?

Comparing 3 Primary Techniques

Where do I find experimentally determined structures?

RCSB Protein Data Bank
NCBI’s Structure Database

NCBI's iCn3D

iCn3D, pronounced "I See in 3D", Structure Viewer is a web-based 3D viewer with structure analysis capabilities. The web-based nature of the tool means no downloads are needed to start visualzing and learning!
