NCBI Virtual Workshop Series: Exploring 3D Molecular Structures with iCn3D. NLM Tech Bull. 2022 Sep-Oct;(448):b8.
The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) is pleased to announce an upcoming virtual workshop that is now accepting applications. The NCBI Education Team invites you to apply and share this opportunity with any colleagues who may be interested. We would appreciate it if you could publicize this workshop to researchers and educators at your institutions.
Our NCBI Virtual Workshops series was developed last fall to expand our reach to individuals who use NCBI resources for biological/biomedical research, science education, and clinical application efforts. Please review the workshop description to understand the intended audience. Each workshop will accept a limited number of participants to facilitate the best possible educational experience.
Title: Exploring 3D Molecular Structures with iCn3D
Date and time: Thursday, October 27, 2022, 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. ET
Description: The amount of biomolecular structure data produced by researchers is growing rapidly and helping push scientific discovery. Knowledge of biomolecular structure helps scientists understand how the structure works and this knowledge can be used to influence function, predict binding partners, and understand biological pathways. As such, researchers in life sciences can benefit from an increased understanding of biomolecular structure and resources that build upon structural data. In this workshop, we will use iCn3D, a free, web-based tool supported by NCBI that allows you to explore the structure of a biomolecule at an atomistic level.
Throughout this online, interactive workshop we will cover:
Please note, this workshop is designed for life scientists with some (intermediate) background in structural biology. We will not be performing structure prediction, molecular docking, or molecular dynamics simulations.
