Virtual Crash Course - Understanding PDBx/mmCIF

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
