Teaching Enzymology with the Protein Data Bank: From Pandemic to Paxlovid
Webinar hosted by American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) | October 19, 2023
This webinar uses the example of SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease to introduce or reinforce the use of RCSB.org resources for teaching protein structure and function.
After watching the videos featured in this course, you will be able to:
- Understand the types of 3D structural data hosted on RCSB.org (experimental and computational)
- Navigate the RCSB PDB website to visualize each 3D structure and explore various annotations mapped to it
- Compare the shapes, interactions and functions of groups of PDB structure with similar sequences and/or similar structures
- Use RCSB PDB data, tools and resources to enhance classroom instructions and build lessons for teaching about enzymes
