* November 12: Exploring Integrative Structures with RCSB.org (Webinar; 2-3pm ET, 11am-noon PT) Structures of many macromolecular assemblies are increasingly determined using integrative approaches, where information from multiple experimental and computational sources is combined. Structures determined using integrative and hybrid methods (IHM) are deposited and processed by the wwPDB, issued PDB accession codes, and archived alongside experimental structures in the PDB archive. RCSB.org now offers expanded access to integrative structures. In this webinar, RCSB PDB's Brinda Vallat will demonstrate how to use RCSB PDB tools to find, visualize, and analyze IHM PDB structures together with other PDB experimental structures and Computed Structure Models (CSMs). After the webinar, users will be able to: - Understand how integrative structures are archived in the PDB - Use RCSB PDB search tools to access and download integrative structures - Explore structure summary pages, experiment tabs, and validation reports for integrative structures - Visualize these structures in 3D and understand available annotations - Explore integrative structures alongside experimental structures and CSMs in RCSB.org through Group Summary and Group Sequence pages The workshop is intended for: - Bioinformatics or structural biology researchers - Graduate students and postdoctoral scholars in biomedical sciences - Anyone interested in integrative structural biology Register: https://go.rutgers.edu/8a68qgac <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://go.rutgers.edu/8a68qgac&sa=D&source=calendar&ust=1762887135528852&usg=AOvVaw0qIEF3o400sDwQnwNwoBI5> * November 24 Exploring CSMs at RCSB.org (Virtual Office Hour; 1-2pm ET, 10-11am PT) RCSB.org offers access to PDB experimental structures, integrative structures, and Computed Structure Models (CSMs) from AlphaFold DB and ModelArchive. Want to learn how to use RCSB.org features to navigate 3D predicted protein structures in the context of experimentally-determined PDB structure? Join RCSB PDB's Joan Segura for a virtual office hour. This event will be of interest to all users of PDB data and RCSB.org, particularly educators and students interested in feature demonstrations. Please bring your questions and comments to this open discussion.
