- Background and Abstract
-
In 1971, the structural biology community established the single global archive for 3D macromolecular structure data: the Protein Data Bank (PDB). Approximately one fourth of the entire PDB data originated from Asia. In 2000, Protein Data Bank Japan (PDBj) started on-site data processing as a newly founded Asian hub for PDB data resource. Since 2001, PDBj has provided our newly developed online Data-out services available freely and publicly through our own web site (https://pdbj.org), which we have enhanced through the years. With the establishment of the worldwide PDB in 2003, we have served as one of its regional data centers, collaborating on Data-in and Data-out activities on a global scale.
In 2021, we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of our single global archive, especially this time in Asia, and want to discuss the frontier of the Structural Biology in Asia.
The one-day online symposium consists 2 sessions: e-poster presentations and a series of lectures. Students and postdoctoral fellows are especially encouraged to join and will be eligible for poster prizes. Early and late stage career scientists are encouraged to submit an abstract for poster presentation during the symposium.
The event will be recorded and made available to registered participants after the meeting.

- Notes
-
- This symposium will be held as a satellite event at the 59 annual meeting of the Japanese Society of Biophysics. In case you are registered to participate in the annual meeting, please also register to participate in this symposium, for the purpose of operation and administration.
- Even if you register for this event, you cannot participate in the annual program.
- Acquired personal information is used only within the scope of the purpose of acquisition.
- Points of Registration for Poster Presentation
-
- Eligibility for Presentation Application
- Any researchers can apply the presentation. You don't have to be a member of the Japanese Society of Biophysics. You can apply for only one presentation as presentater. Presentations at the Biophysical Society annual meeting are not counted here, that is you can be presented at both this poster session and the annual meeting.
- Themes of Poster
-
- Protein Structure and Supramolecular complexes
- RNA/DNA molecular machines
- Application of Structural Biology
- X-ray/XFEL
- NMR
- 3DEM
- Bioinformatics/Protein Structure Prediction
- Number of Presentation
- 100 (Registration will be closed earlier when the number of posters reach 100.)
- Confirmation Mail
- When the registration is completed, a notice email will be sent automatically. Poster numbers (IDs) and presentation registration procedures will be sent separately by the end of October 2021. Please avoid registering with a free email address because it may be recognized as spam.
- PDBj Poster Prize
- Excellent posters prepared by students and post-doc students will be awarded.
- Submission of Presentation Material
- Please register your presentation material (still image or video) from November 1, 2021 (Mon) to November 8, 2021 (Mon) (JST: 23:59) on the Japan Society of Biophysics website using the confit system. During the registration period, you can review, modify, or cancel your registration. We will not accept any modification or registration after the registration period.
