Understanding PDB Validation: Which experimental structures should I rely on?
Webinar hosted by RCSB PDB/Rutgers Institute for Quantitative Biomedicine | May 14, 2024
Learn about primary PDB structure quality metrics, including those in the validation slider graphic; how PDB structure quality varies across the archive; and identify good structure(s) for research from RCSB.org.
After watching the videos featured in this course, you will be able to:
- Be able to interpret the primary PDB structure quality metrics
- Understand how PDB structure quality varies across the archive
- Know how to identify quality structure(s) for research from RCSB.org
