Learning Structural Biology in Virtual Reality

05/09 

The latest Education Corner describes Learning in Virtual Reality: Revolutionizing education with Autodesk's Molecule Viewer. This viewer is a free, online 3D visualization tool for modern scientists and learners to explore, share, and present molecular data. It was recently used to curate an present a structural biology symposium on the retinal protein world.

Published quarterly in our Newsletter, each Education Corner offers an account of how members of the community use the PDB to educate students. If you would like to submit an Education Corner column, please send an email to [email protected].

The spring RCSB PDB Newsletter also includes the report of the Global Life Sciences Data Resources (GLSDR) Working Group, plans for updating all PDBx/mmCIF model files to the V5 version of the PDBx/mmCIF dictionary, and open Postdoctoral Fellow positions at RCSB PDB at UCSD. Recent PDB-101 highlights are presented, including a 2017 NSF/Popular Science Vizzie Award, 2016 FASEB BioArt Award, and recognition by Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News as Best of the Web.

RCSB PDB's Newsletter is published and archived online.
