Description

In this one afternoon course, we will explore UCSF ChimeraX, the successor of the popular UCSF Chimera software.
You will be introduced to different structural formats (PDB, PDBx/mmCIF) and learn how to load them from local files or directly from RCSB PDB or PDBe.

You will also learn how to use the different visualisation modes (ribbons, sidechains, surfaces, hydrogen bonds, etc.) and the sequence editor to highlight biological features and regions of interest.

Finally, you will be able to compare related structures through structure superposition, inspect surfaces and infer functional implications from topological features, binding interfaces and sequence conservation.

Bookings

This event is fully booked.
