	31 Aug 2017 wwPDB Poster Prize Awarded at IUCr 2017 Congratulations to Ms Deekshi Angira, who recently received the wwPDB Poster Prize for "Gamma secretase activating protein as profound target for Alzheimer’s disease" (Deekshi Angira, Vijay Thiruvenkatam, Indian Institute Of Technology Gandhinagar). The Prize was awarded at the 24th Congress & General Assembly of the International Union of Crystallography (Hyderabad, India). The wwPDB-sponsored award highlights the “best poster by a graduate or undergraduate student in structural biology and related categories.”
	12 Jul 2017 Enriched Model Files Conforming to OneDep Data Standards Now Available in the PDB FTP Archive The model files in the PDB FTP archive have been updated to V5.0 of the PDBx/mmCIF dictionary. Both mmCIF and XML formats have been updated.
	21 Jun 2017 ISBC Poster Prize awarded Congratulations to Crissy L. Tarver from the University of Alabama who won the PDBe sponsored poster prize at the recent International School on Biological Crystallization held in Granada, Spain. Crissy won the book "Protein Crystallization" by Terese Bergfors. She is pictured here (on the right) receiving the prize from the author.
	15 Jun 2017 2017 EMBL-EBI course in Structural Bioinformatics Applications are invited for a course on Structural Bioinformatics that is being organised by EMBL-EBI and that will be held from 23-27 October 2017.
	04 May 2017 SIFT-ing through sequence space in the PDB You’ve probably noticed that many of the protein structures in the PDB archive are cross-referenced to other data resources. These cross-references, for example to UniProt, Pfam, CATH and SCOP are displayed on our website, and on those of our wwPDB partners.
	12 Apr 2017 BSG David Blow Poster Prize awarded Congratulations to Amirul Adli Bin Abdul Aziz who won the BSG David Blow Poster Prize, sponsored by PDBe, at the British Crystallographic Association Spring Meeting in Lancaster yesterday. The trophy comprises a piece of Blue John crystal mounted on an oak plinth.
	15 Mar 2017 Virtual Reality to interact with 3D structures Although VR (virtual reality) has been around for decades, it is only now with cheap and powerful hardware (compuers, headsets and smartphones), and demand from the world of gaming, that VR applications are becoming more widely available. On 14 March 2017, we were visited by Jonas Boström (whose day job is in computational chemistry at AstraZeneca in Mölndal, Sweden) and a former student of his, Magnus Norrby (who now works for the Nordea bank) to discuss possible applications of VR.
	06 Mar 2017 Bringing Artists and Scientists Together Creates Very Exciting Results A recent collaboration between scientists from the PDBe team, local arts societies Camdfas and Grantadfas, and arts students in local schools has led to some amazing results. One is currently on display in a Cambridge gallery.
	09 Feb 2017 The paper describing wwPDB OneDep system is now available The paper describing wwPDB OneDep system is now available. The wwPDB has deployed a unified system for deposition, biocuration, and validation of macromolecular structures globally across all wwPDB, EMDB, and BMRB deposition sites to meet the evolving requirements of the scientific community to archive structural data over the coming decades.
