What is it about?
The RCSB PDB Molecule of the Month presents short accounts on selected molecules from the Protein Data Bank. Each installment includes an introduction to the structure and function of the molecule, a discussion of the relevance of the molecule to human health and welfare, and suggestions for how visitors might view these structures and access further details. This article describes the goals of the column, and a transition in authorship from David Goodsell to Janet Iwasa.
