Welcome to ModelArchive

ModelArchive serves as a repository and archive for computational structure models that are not based on experimental data. It complements the PDB archive for experimental structures and PDB-IHM for integrative structures.

The main purpose of ModelArchive is to enable scientific reproducibility and maximise the potential reuse of models. Depositors are required to provide a minimum set of information about the modelling procedure and the expected accuracy of the results. A unique, stable accession code (DOI) is provided for each deposited model, which can be directly referenced in the corresponding manuscripts.

The development of ModelArchive is supported by the SIB - Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics and is part of SIB’s portfolio of open databases and software tools.

ModelArchive is an ELIXIR Deposition Database and is part of the ELIXIR infrastructure.
