Seminar title

"Are you ready for the New PDB Beta Archive and Extended PDB IDs?"

Seminar outline:

The Protein Data Bank is running out of 4-character IDs. In preparation, world-wide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB) recently launched the new Beta PDB Archive for testing. The new directory structure is organized around extended PDB IDs and will replace the current PDB archive when all 4-character PDB IDs are assigned. The Beta PDB archive contains all current PDB data and is updated weekly.
Join the session to hear about the future of PDB identifiers, the layout of the public archive, and the deprecation of legacy PDB-formatted files. Learn how you can start utilizing new resources today.
After this seminar, users will be able to:
Understand the layout of the new PDB beta archive Learn how to use URLs to PDB data that will work now and in the future. We will allocate sufficient time for questions and answers. We welcome your active participation!
