From its inception, the PDB has embraced a culture of open access, leading to its widespread use by the research community. PDB data are used by hundreds of data resources and millions of users exploring fundamental biology, energy, and biomedicine.</p> <a href="https://www.wwpdb.org/pdb50" target="_blank">In 2021, wwPDB celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the PDB with symposia, materials, and more.</a> <a href="http://wwpdb.org/pdb50" target="_blank"><img src="https://cdn.rcsb.org/wwpdb/docs/pdb50yrs2021/PDB50-long.png" width="50%" alt="image: 50 Years of PDB"/></a> <h3>PDB50 Poster Prizes</h3> <p>At the <a href="https://www.wwpdb.org/PDB50-ASBMB-meeting" target="_blank">inaugural PDB50 meeting</a>, the <a href="https://www.wwpdb.org/news/news?year=2021#60bf70b727e8f11f0d6aac17" target="_blank">following awards were made</a>.</p> <ul> <li>Best in High School: Nicholas Mamisashvili, Shelter Island High School, <i>Molecular Dynamics Simulation of 6PEY.pdb a Novel Mutation in the Enzyme Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase</i></li> <li>Best in Undergraduate: Ijeoma Okoye, Vassar College, <i>X-ray and Antioxidant Determination of Butein and 2’,4’-dihydroxy-3,4-dimethoxychalcone to Examine their Antimalarial Activity by Binding to Falcipain-2</i></li> <li>Best in Graduate: Daniel Sultanov, New York University, <i>Mining for functional ribosomal variants in Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i></li> <li>Best in Postdoctoral Scholars: Seda Kocaman, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, <i>Different ATP binding states of the essential AAA (ATPases Associated with various Activities)-ATPase Rix7 facilitate substrate translocation in ribosome biogenesis</i></li> </ul> <p>At the PDB 50th Anniversary Symposium in Asia, the <a href="https://pdbj.org/news/pdb50asiasympo_posterprize" target="_blank">following awards were made</a>:</p> <ul> <li>Gyunghee Jo,Institute for Basic Science, Republic of Korea, <i>Structural Insights into the Clustering and Activation of Tie2 Receptor Mediated by Tie2 Agonistic Antibody</i></li> <li>Hongyang Yu, High Energy Accelerator Organization (KEK) and The Graduate University for Advanced Studies (SOKENDAI), Japan, <i>Crystal structure of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase from Sphingobium sp.
