Editing X-ray crystallography (section)

=== Deposition of the structure ===
Once the model of a molecule's structure has been finalized, it is often deposited in a [[crystallographic database]] such as the [[Cambridge Structural Database]] (for small molecules), the [[Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD)]] (for inorganic compounds) or the [[Protein Data Bank]] (for protein and sometimes nucleic acids). Many structures obtained in private commercial ventures to crystallize medicinally relevant proteins are not deposited in public crystallographic databases.
