Python Scripting for Biochemistry & Molecular Biology | Part 1

Virtual Crash Course | February 22, 2022

This workshop familiarizes life scientists with the power and flexibility of solving problems with Python by introducing specific coding skills, as well as providing insight into the broader array of open-access resources and libraries that are available for scientific computation. This course was presented by Paul A. Craig, Professor of Biochemistry, Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and Jessica A. Nash, Software Scientist, Molecular Sciences Software Institute (MolSSI)

After watching the videos featured in this course, you will be able to:

• Use the Python programing language to write useful scripts for teaching chemistry
• Write custom Python scripts to explore the content of a .pdb file
• Import open-access Python libraries for PDB data query and analysis
• Use Python libraries to visualize PDB data in 3D

Additional materials for this course are available:

• Jupyter book for the full Python Scripting for Biochemistry & Molecular Biology Workshop
• Jupiter Notebooks for individual excercises and relevant PDB files (.zip file)
