Parton distributions of nucleons bound in the nucleus can be significantly modified compared to the distributions of the free nucleons. These modifications, commonly referred to as the nuclear corrections, are important for phenomenology of heavy ion collisions, and global analysis of nuclear parton distribution functions (nPDFs) allows for a systematic estimate of these effects. In this presentation I outline the formalism used in the global analysis of proton and nuclear PDFs, and review available nPDFs. I give special attention to the nCTEQ analysis which I work on, and show the impact of available LHC data on the nPDFs.
