[phenixbb] Virtual Crash Course - Understanding PDBx/mmCIF | May 3rd | REGISTER NOW!

[Chenghua Shao]

Virtual Crash Course
The RCSB Protein Data Bank will provide a course, "Use PDB data to their 
full extent: Understanding PDBx/mmCIF" on  Wednesday, May 3rd 2023 from 
1:00-3:00 EDT

Understand the basics of PDBx/mmCIF data dictionary and file format that 
underpin archiving of more than 200,000 experimentally determined 
three-dimensional biostructures in the PDB. Learn about software tools 
for generating and working with PDBx/mmCIF files, and programmatic 
access for harvesting PDB data.

The program:
