Virtual Reality to interact with 3D structures
Although VR (virtual reality) has been around for decades, it is only now with cheap and powerful hardware (compuers, headsets and smartphones), and demand from the world of gaming, that VR applications are becoming more widely available. |

Looking back on 2016
Gerard Kleywegt looks back at some of the past year’s highlights in the world of PDBe, EMDB and EMPIAR in his slog (“sometime blog�). |

Electron density for all!
In his first "slog" ("sometime blog") of 2017, Gerard Kleywegt explains why it is useful to look at electron-density maps, what those blue, red and green chicken-wire objects mean, and how you can view maps from the comfort of your own browser at PDBe, without any need to download software or da |

PDBe brings electron-density viewing to the masses
PDBe provides PDB-entry pages where you can easily inspect electron-density maps for all X-ray crystal structures (and it works for structures with EM maps as well), and which make it especially easy to inspect the maps for ligands (example |

Uppsala Electron Density Server to be retired
After  serving the scientific community with electron-density maps for two decades, the Uppsala Electron Density Server (EDS; http://eds.bmc.uu.se/) is now reaching the end of its life cycle and will be retired some time in 2017. The good news is that much of |

Plugin shows structure annotations in PyMOL
There’s lots of extra data in a PDB entry that isn’t shown in many viewers, making it difficult to view and analyse. PDBe’s PyMOL plugin helps out with this problem by displaying some of this extra information in PyMOL. |
