RCSB PDB provides essential tools for finding and analyzing biomolecular structures

The latest issue of Structure has a Focus on structural tools in biological discovery that includes

RCSB Protein Data Bank resources for structure-facilitated design of mRNA vaccines for existing and emerging viral pathogens
(2022) Structure 30: P55-68.e2 doi: 10.1016/j.str.2021.10.008

In this article, David S. Goodsell and Stephen K. Burley examine the structural biology underpinning the success of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines and present freely available resources at the RCSB Protein Data Bank that could guide the structure-facilitated design of new countermeasures against existing and emerging viral pathogens.
