	11 Dec 2018 2019 calendar: Science and Society The link between scientific research and day-to-day life is more significant than one might first imagine. Our new PDBe calendar for 2019, entitled 'Science and Society,' explores the connection between these two seemingly disconnected activities through the creation of artworks by school students.
	10 Dec 2018 A successful Hackathon with BioExcel partners Last month we hosted a hackathon event where BioExcel developers joined members of the PDBe team to tackle problems related to programmatic access of PDB data. In addition to helping the BioExcel partners to answer questions by using the PDBe REST API, our team also introduce them to a new graph database that is being developed at PDBe.
	05 Dec 2018 New publication from the global wwPDB consortium An important new publication describing the activities and development of the Protein Data Bank (PDB), and authored by the whole wwPDB consortium, has been recently released in the 2019 Database issue of Nucleic Acids Research. Please see the following news release from the wwPDB website:
	01 Nov 2018 Bringing clarity to chemistry at PDBe The PDB is an archive of macromolecular structures, but the small molecules bound in these structures are the focus of much interest. We have recently made some changes to the way we display images of small molecules at PDBe, which brings a lot more clarity to their chemistry.
	26 Aug 2018 ECM31 Poster Prize Awarded Congratulations to Sasa Petrovic (left) from Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine and Marie Haufroid from Université de Namur who were awarded the PDBe sponsored poster prize at the European Crystallographic Meeting in Oviedo, Spain. They are shown receiving their prize from PDBe's David Armstrong (right). Many thanks to Prof. Maria Joao Romao, Prof. Randy Read, Dr. Martin Bommer, Dr. Yvette Roske, Dr. Kevin Cowtan and Dr. Martin Walsh for their help in judging the poster prize.
	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."
