Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in PDB Structure should match this regular expression:
^[0-9][A-Za-z0-9]{3}$

Example Local Unique Identifier
2gc4   Resolve
Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from PDB Structure should match this regular expression:
^pdb:[0-9][A-Za-z0-9]{3}$

Example CURIE
pdb:2gc4
