*Use PDB data to their full extent: Understanding PDBx/mmCIF *
Wednesday, May 3rd 2023 | 1:00 PM EDT
Registration: https://go.rutgers.edu/u3vpwjet
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
