The Protein Data Bank (PDB), an archive of free macromolecular structural data, recently marked its 50th birthday. To celebrate, Biophysical Society hosted a virtual symposium, highlighting some of the high-impact applications of protein structural data, with a particular focus on the areas of structure prediction and membrane protein biophysics. At the event, David Baker shared an overview of some of the latest advances in protein design, with an emphasis on how protein structures from the PDB continue to enable breakthroughs.
