The
latest RCSB PDB release provides the possibility of attaching personal annotations to PDB entries. If you have been using
the iPhone application, you might have noticed that this feature has been introduced there already a few weeks ago. Now you can also annotate your favorite proteins directly at the RCSB PDB website.

Another nice feature for the future would be to be able to attach "positional" features in order to e.g. annotate active sites or domain boundaries.
