2014 Challenge Overview

In 2014, the RCSB PDB invited high school students for the first time to create short videos that tell a molecular story about HIV/AIDS. The video had to include a visualization/animation of two or more molecular structures from the PDB, and be focused on any topic related to the structural biology of HIV/AIDS, such as:

• The partial or complete life cycle of HIV
• HIV vs. the human immune system presenting the scenario of what likely happens in an individual upon exposure to HIV
• HIV testing to detect infection and as a follow-up during anti-HIV treatment
• Anti-HIV treatment options and the challenges of drug resistance
• HIV vaccines
• HIV and cancer
• Any other aspects of HIV/AIDS of interest
