<p><i>Deposition/Biocuration Services</i> support Data Depositors
who submit the results of their structural studies of biological
macromolecules to the PDB. All data deposited undergo expert
review. Each structure is examined for self-consistency,
standardized using controlled vocabularies, cross-referenced with
other biological data resources, and validated for
scientific/technical accuracy.</p>
<p>Biocurators communicate daily with members of the deposition
community, and annotate, publicly release, and update entries in
the PDB archive.</p>
