PDB50 at the American Crystallographic Association

The 2021 ACA Transactions Symposium (July 30-31, 2021) was dedicated to celebrating the manifold contributions to fundamental biology, biomedicine, bioenergy, and bioengineering/biotechnology made by PDB Data Depositors and PDB Data Consumers over the past five decades.

The Organizing Committee for this symposium included Stephen K. Burley (RCSB PDB), David Rose (University of Waterloo), Natalie Strynadka (University of British Columbia), and Rui Zhao (University of Colorado). Helen M. Berman (RCSB PDB) joined the organizers in chairing the symposium.

This Transactions Symposium was supported by Rigaku, Bruker, and IUCr Journals.

Presentations from high profile experimental and computational structural biologists working in the United States, Canada, and South America were augmented by short round table discussions regarding future directions in structural biology and the important role that the Protein Data Bank can play in a rapidly changing landscape.
