engineering custom proteins
Researchers can edit the information in DNA to engineer new proteins. This technique is widely used to create strains of bacteria that produce useful proteins such as hormones and - more controversially - genetically modified agricultural organisms. Atomic structures have revealed the details of the enzymes used to create custom-engineered DNA.
About PDB-101
Researchers around the globe make 3D structures freely available from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) archive. PDB-101 training materials help graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and researchers use PDB data and RCSB PDB tools. Outreach content demonstrate how PDB data impact fundamental biology, biomedicine, bioengineering/biotechnology, and energy sciences in 3D for a diverse and multidisciplinary user community. Education Materials provide lessons and activities for teaching and learning.
PDB-101 is developed by the RCSB PDB.
