- The synergies of the PDB and the CSD (Tjelvar S.G. Olsson, CCDC)
- Iridium: prepping PDB data for use in computation chemistry software development (Greg Warren, OpenEye)
- Challenges in positioning, validation, annotation and visualization of chemical compounds bound to proteins (Ruben Abagyan, UCSD)
A presentation on Using molecular structures from the PDB for a visual and exploratory learning experience in biochemistry will be part of the Advances in Teaching afternoon session on Tuesday, August 24 from 1:30 p.m. - 5:15 p.m. in the Seaport Hotel Ballroom A.
