Abstract
We report on an update of the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) ABKM09 parton distributions functions. They are obtained with the use of the combined HERA collider Run I inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) data and the partial NNLO corrections to the heavy quark electro-production taken into account. The value of the strong couplig constant is obtained. The standard candle cross sections for the Tevatron collider and the LHC estimated with the updated PDFs are provided.
