This course is designed to help users understand the basics of PDBx/mmCIF data dictionary and file format that underpin the archiving of experimentally determined three-dimensional biostructures in the PDB.
After completing of this course, you will be able to use software tools for generating, editing, and visualizing PDBx/mmCIF files, understand PDBx/mmCIF dictionary extensions (including ModelCIF for computed structure models), and parse data from PDBx/mmCIF files for your research.
Access the full course and supplementary materials at pdb101.rcsb.org/train/training-events/mmcif.
Presenter:
Ezra Peisach, Scientific Software Developer/PDBx mmCIF Dictionary Manager
