This 2-hr workshop will provide a hands-on tour of resources available at the RCSB Protein Data Bank for finding biomolecular structures and visualizing them. The workshop will be useful to artists who wish to use atomic structures from the PDB archive to add accuracy to their work.

David S. Goodsell is a scientist and artist who divides his time between research in computational biology and creation of new materials for science outreach. At the Scripps Research Institute, he is developing methods for modeling the molecular structure and function of entire bacterial cells, HIV and SARS-CoV-2. With the RCSB Protein Data Bank at Rutgers University, he is creating educational materials for exploring molecular and cellular structure. This includes the “Molecule of the Month,” a popular column for general audiences that presents the molecular mechanisms of fundamental biology, health and disease, and bioenergy. For more information, see his website (above) and PDB-101, the education portal of the PDB at pdb101.rcsb.org.
