Title: Virtual Boot Camp: COVID ‐19 evolution and structural biology

Abstract

COVID-19-related campus closures necessitated invention of an intensive online learning experience that introduced students to Structural Bioinformatics. The program engaged 33 students from 11 different institutions ranging from high school to graduate school. The objectives of the intensive, 1-week Boot Camp focused on helping students build a foundation for studying the SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease (Nsp5) to understand how the protein evolved during the first 6 months of the COVID-19 pandemic by exploring amino acid sequence and 3D atomic-level structure using various structural bioinformatics tools. Participants analyzed how the protein changed as the virus spread around the world, comparing Nsp5 from the original viral isolate to 161 unique sequence/structure variants.

RCSB Protein Data Bank tools for 3D structure-guided cancer research: human papillomavirus (HPV) case study

Journal Article Goodsell, David S. ; Burley, Stephen K. - Oncogene

Abstract Atomic-level three-dimensional (3D) structure data for biological macromolecules often prove critical to dissecting and understanding the precise mechanisms of action of cancer-related proteins and their diverse roles in oncogenic transformation, proliferation, and metastasis. They are also used extensively to identify potentially druggable targets and facilitate discovery and development of both small-molecule and biologic drugs that are today benefiting individuals diagnosed with cancer around the world. 3D structures of biomolecules (including proteins, DNA, RNA, and their complexes with one another, drugs, and other small molecules) are freely distributed by the open-access Protein Data Bank (PDB).

RCSB Protein Data Bank: Architectural Advances Towards Integrated Searching and Efficient Access to Macromolecular Structure Data from the PDB Archive

Journal Article Rose, Yana ; Duarte, Jose M. ; Lowe, Robert ; ... - Journal of Molecular Biology

The US Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics Protein Data Bank (RCSB PDB) serves many millions of unique users worldwide by delivering experimentally-determined 3D structures of biomolecules integrated with >40 external data resources via RCSB.org, application programming interfaces (APIs), and FTP downloads. Herein, we present the architectural redesign of RCSB PDB data delivery services that build on existing PDBx/mmCIF data schemas. New data access APIs (data.rcsb.org) enable efficient delivery of all PDB archive data. A novel GraphQL-based API provides flexible, declarative data retrieval along with a simple-to-use REST API. A powerful new search system (search.rcsb.org) seamlessly integrates heterogeneous types of searchesmore »« less

RCSB Protein Data Bank: Enabling biomedical research and drug discovery

Journal Article Goodsell, David S. ; Zardecki, Christine ; Di Costanzo, Luigi ; ... - Protein Science

Analyses of publicly available structural data reveal interesting insights into the impact of the three-dimensional (3D) structures of protein targets important for discovery of new drugs (e.g., G-protein-coupled receptors, voltage-gated ion channels, ligand-gated ion channels, transporters, and E3 ubiquitin ligases). The Protein Data Bank (PDB) archive currently holds > 155,000 atomic-level 3D structures of biomolecules experimentally determined using crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and electron microscopy. The PDB was established in 1971 as the first open-access, digital-data resource in biology, and is now managed by the Worldwide PDB partnership (wwPDB; wwPDB.org).

Evaluating the Impact of a Canadian National Anatomy and Radiology Contouring Boot Camp for Radiation Oncology Residents

Journal Article Jaswal, Jasbir ; D'Souza, Leah ; Johnson, Marjorie ; ... - International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology and Physics

Background: Radiation therapy treatment planning has advanced over the past 2 decades, with increased emphasis on 3-dimensional imaging for target and organ-at-risk (OAR) delineation. Recent studies suggest a need for improved resident instruction in this area. We developed and evaluated an intensive national educational course (“boot camp”) designed to provide dedicated instruction in site-specific anatomy, radiology, and contouring using a multidisciplinary (MDT) approach. Methods: The anatomy and radiology contouring (ARC) boot camp was modeled after prior single-institution pilot studies and a needs-assessment survey. The boot camp incorporated joint lectures from radiation oncologists, anatomists, radiologists, and surgeons, with hands-on contouring instructionmore »« less
