* This RCSB Protein Data Bank (PDB) virtual course will be
broadcast on Zoom. Please fill out the registration form to
receive the Zoom link. Registration will be available online from
March 1, 2023 to May 3, 2023.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
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. Main topics:
* PDBx/mmCIF format description and examples
* PDBx/mmCIF data model
* Software tools for generating, editing, and visualizing
PDBx/mmCIF files
* PDBx/mmCIF dictionary extensions, including ModelCIF for
computed
structure models (CSM) from AI/ML
* Parsing data from PDBx/mmCIF files for your research
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Professionals and graduate students interested in learning about
strategies to take full advantage of PDB data in the fields of:
* Structural biology
* Cheminformatics and computational chemistry
* Bioinformatics and computational biology
