I’ve arrived in Versailles for the #ECM33 conference. Looking forward to talking to PDB depositors about structure data and our @PDBeurope, #PDBeKB and #AlphaFoldDB resources. Find us at stand 27 on level +2.

Discover the wonder of proteins with our new #proteinart project, Unfold Your World - an art & science project for 14-18-year-olds across Europe & UK. Win prizes worth €100 & see your art displayed in a special exhibition. Find out more: embl.org/unfold-your-wo… @embl @pdbeurope

In our newest practical guide, developed with @GoogleDeepMind and @emblebi, delve into the fundamentals of #AlphaFold, explore its strengths and limitations, and gain practical skills through hands-on exercises. Start the free, self-paced tutorial today: ebi.ac.uk/training/onlin…

We are thrilled to announce that PDBe is now on LinkedIn! 📢 Connect with us to stay up-to-date on the latest in structural biology data and resources. #PDBe #StructuralBiology linkedin.com/company/pdbe

@IrinaBezsonova @buildmodels @inktober The pressure sensing piezo receptors might work for this (if slightly tenuous as a link)? E.g. 6bpz

Day 8/31 of #inktober2023 inspired by protein structures Prompt: TOAD Toad liver fatty acid binding protein (pdb 1p6p) Next prompt is: BOUNCE Please send your suggestions @buildmodels @buildmodels @inktober

@sokrypton You can get this from the @PDBeurope rest API molecules call. It maps the list of auth_asym_id (in_chains) and label_asym_id (in_struct_asyms) for each entity ID. E.g. ebi.ac.uk/pdbe/api/pdb/e…

Anyone know of a simple way to map "polymer entity identifiers" to auth_asym_id or label_asym_id, without the need to download the individual mmcif files? Looks like we have yet another way to label chains: 🤔

@rli22 Congratulations Rivka! 🎉

Promoted to professor! Dead happy about it & grateful to my lab members past & present & all the other wonderful people who've helped me along the way. Need to get me a new ambition!

The @PDBeurope team were delighted to welcome @bradyajohnston to @emblebi yesterday to talk about his Molecular Nodes add-on for @AIBlender and discuss ideas around molecular visualisation. Check out his excellent tutorials at youtube.com/c/bradyjohnston

Delighted to be at the @BiochemSoc Evolving Molecular Bioscience Education conference, presenting a poster on @PDBeurope and #PDBeKB and how we are making macromolecular structures more accessible to the biosciences community.

A huge thanks to those of you that joined us online last week and again today for the follow-up session of our #proteinbiology #bioinformatics course. Interested in attending next year? Sign up for alerts to hear as the course develops: mailchi.mp/ebi/prb24_aler…

Join us this autumn for a guide to the commonly used methods and tools in #structuralbioinformatics to analyse and interpret experimentally determined and #AI predicted #macromolecular structure data (inc. #AlphaFold). Applications are open until 18 June: ebi.ac.uk/training/event…

Our Outreach and Training Lead, @DaveASci, is presenting in the #HTCC5 workshop, organised by @hrvukris. Attendees learnt to access and interpret structure data from @PDBeurope, #PDBeKB and #AlphaFoldDB. Find PDBe training materials: pdbe.org/training

I’m looking forward to joining the participants of #HTCC5 in beautiful Dubrovnik, talking on Wednesday about @PDBeurope and accessing structural data at #PDBeKB and #AlphafoldDB

@ScotlandNT @FootballCliches McTominay’s goals were in the 7th and 51st minute - is that reasonable use of ‘either side of half time’?

FULL TIME: Scotland 2-0 Spain. A HUGE performance from Steve Clarke's team 💪 Two goals from Scott McTominay either side of half time means it's two wins out of two to start our European Qualifying campaign! #SCOESP

Our #PDBart project brings molecular structures into the art class! This @SciInSchool article by @deeptigupta19 and @DaveASci guides you through the process - a great resource for teachers and those doing scientific engagement. 🔗scienceinschool.org/article/2021/b…

Our featured structure article for February focuses on a flower that heralds the arrival of spring, and its toxic carbohydrate binding proteins. These molecules inspired this artwork by Beatrice Gibbons from @TheLeys (@leysbiotutor). 🔗 ebi.ac.uk/pdbe/news/snow…

We are looking for a bioinformatician to join the PDBe team, to design, develop and deliver training for AlphaFold DB and liaise with user communities. 📅15th January 2023 🔗 embl.org/jobs/position/…

You can now superpose #AlphaFold models onto #PDB structures at the touch of a button using the superposition function on the #PDBeKB aggregated views of proteins. ebi.ac.uk/about/news/upd…

Congratulations to @ChorizoSzeto from the @GrasLab on winning the PDBe poster prize at #ECM33. Chris wins a cash prize of €200 and some PDBe goodies, presented by @DaveASci

Today is your last chance to come and visit us at #ECM33, stand 27 level 2, to talk about PDB data and resources. We still have lots of freebies to give away, including our 2023 calendar! @ECA_social
