Boot Camp: COVID-19 Evolution and Structural Biology

	Use PDB data to their full extent: Understanding PDBx/mmCIF 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.
	Exploring Computed Structure Models on RCSB.org In August 2022, the RCSB PDB enabled access to ~1 million Computed Structure Models (CSMs) from AlphaFoldDB and RoseTTAFold in addition to the ~200,000 experimentally-determined PDB structures on the RCSB.org website. A Virtual Crash Course was held to inform the RCSB.org users how to search, visualize, and analyze CSMs alongside experimentally-determined PDB structures using the custom-developed RCSB PDB tools.
	Using KBase to access PDB Structures and Computed Structure Models At this virtual course, the participants had the opportunity to learn about the protein structure-related tools, visualizations, and workflows that have been integrated into DOE KBase. This course was organized jointly by RCSB PDB and DOE KBase.
	Python Scripting for Biochemistry & Molecular Biology \| Part 2 This is the second part of the IQB Crash Course designed to introduce life scientists to the power and flexibility of solving problems with Python. This course offers a brief review of Python and the Jupyter Notebook environment first, later diving into working with Python libraries and various types of data.
	Python Scripting for Biochemistry & Molecular Biology \| Part 1 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)
	Boot Camp: COVID-19 Evolution and Structural Biology These materials were used in a June 2020 Boot Camp for undergraduate researchers held virtually to understand how the protein evolved during the first six months of the COVID-19 pandemic by exploring amino acid sequence and 3D atomic-level structure using various structural bioinformatics tools.
