	02 Aug 2018 Raw experimental data for 3D structures highlighted at PDBe PDBe, IRRMC, SBGrid, EMPIAR and BMRB are pleased to announce a web component available on the PDBe web pages that enables users to easily access unprocessed experimental data associated with PDB structures.
	30 Jul 2018 PDBe-KB: Help us enrich protein data with functional annotations
	19 Jul 2018 Celebrating Art Inspired by the PDB Over the past couple of years, PDBe has worked with local arts societies and schools, using protein structures to inspire artworks. Today, that work is celebrated and shared in a public exhibition of this work at the Michaelhouse Cafe in Cambridge.
	29 Jun 2018 Poster prize awarded at UKSR50 conference Congratulations to Chai Gopalasingam who won the PDBe poster prize at the UKSR50 conference in Liverpool, UK - celebrating 50 years of Synchrotron Radiation in the UK. Chai, from University of Liverpool, presented a poster titled 'Characterising a bacterial nitric oxide detoxification complex via X-ray crystallography and Cryo Electron microscopy' He is pictured here with his winning poster.
	27 Jun 2018 wwPDB news: ORCIDs To Become Mandatory for OneDep Contact Authors The wwPDB is making an important change to the data we collect from users at deposition in the OneDep system. Please see the following announcement from the wwPDB: "The wwPDB OneDep system for deposition, validation and biocuration will require contact authors to provide their unique ORCID identifiers when preparing depositions later this summer. This change will enable wwPDB efforts to correctly attribute PDB structures to contact authors. At a later point, ORCID will be used to authenticate and reorganize access to deposition data within OneDep."
	25 Jun 2018 Spotting Cofactors in the PDB Cofactors are an essential class of non-protein organic molecules. Among the many small molecules in the PDB archive, they’re now easier to identify. Many enzymes can’t function without the presence of other, non-protein, molecules known as cofactors (or coenzymes). PDBe and Prof. Janet Thornton’s groups at EMBL-EBI have worked to annotate cofactors and cofactor-like molecules within the PDB archive, building on the Thornton group’s work in the CoFactor database.
	13 Jun 2018 PDBe poster prize awarded at ENBIK Congratulations to Jaroslav Budi who won the PDBe poster prize at the recent ENBIK conference in the Czech Republic. Jaroslav, from Comenius University in Bratislava, presented a poster titled 'Dante - genotyping of complex and expanded short tandem repetitions' He is pictured here receiving the prize from PDBe's Lukas Pravda (on the right).
	05 Jun 2018 Finding detail in the (EM) data Cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM) is a field that has made dramatic advances in recent years. This has resulted in many more PDB models, derived directly from electron microscopy data, being released in recent years, therefore it is increasingly important to provide tools for searching and analysing this data.
	01 Jun 2018 Finding your way with PDBe searches You might have noticed some changes on the PDBe website recently as we’ve introduced some great improvements to the search options. We hope that these will help you find exactly what you are looking for in the PDB archive. Improvements include the addition of protein sequence searching, many more search terms, an upgraded interface and the ability to input more advanced search queries. Sequence searching
	29 May 2018 Highlighting RNA in a protein world We may be called the Protein Data Bank in Europe, but the PDB archive contains more than just proteins. Many PDB entries also contain RNA, and we’ve just made finding them a lot easier. RNA is vital to life, it carries both the genetic code and amino acids to the ribosome, where the RNA catalyses the synthesis of proteins. But it’s the ‘poor cousin’ to proteins in the PDB, lacking much of the standard naming and classification that proteins enjoy. This makes it difficult to find, for example, all the transfer RNAs.
