<div lang="x-unicode" style="font-size: 16px;">LEARNING OBJECTIVES <br /><br />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: <br /><br /> * PDBx/mmCIF format description and examples <br /> * PDBx/mmCIF data model <br /> * Software tools for generating, editing, and visualizing PDBx/mmCIF files <br /> * PDBx/mmCIF dictionary extensions, including ModelCIF for computed <br /> structure models (CSM) from AI/ML <br /> * Parsing data from PDBx/mmCIF files for your research <br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>WHO SHOULD ATTEND </strong><br /><br />Professionals and graduate students interested in learning about strategies to take full advantage of PDB data in the fields of: <br /><br /> * Structural biology <br /> * Cheminformatics and computational chemistry <br /> * Bioinformatics and computational biology <br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>PROGRAM</strong> | Download Printable Program <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://iqb.rutgers.edu/sites/iqb.rutgers.edu/files/crashcourses/mmCIF-crash-course.pdf__;!!Mih3wA!C1jbMM7t4xTWPeu9uZ1bvTht7UNsRmF753vy0xUJwRu86F9aKyeQZj2UbrO5TLm-O5jJQrD5L4rm4FZiwad65xp-$" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://iqb.rutgers.edu/sites/iqb.rutgers.edu/files/crashcourses/mmCIF-crash-course.pdf&source=gmail&ust=1678398777090000&usg=AOvVaw0q4NMKrdoYaiIRVvN6oa_Z"><https://iqb.rutgers.edu/<wbr />sites/iqb.rutgers.edu/files/<wbr />crashcourses/mmCIF-crash-<wbr />course.pdf></a> <br /><br /><br />1:00–1:10 PM <span>Welcome</span><br />Stephen K.
