In addition to being one of the early pioneers in protein crystallography, Carl Brändén made significant contributions to science education with his elegant and beautifully illustrated book Introduction to Protein Structure (Brändén and Tooze, New York: Garland, 1991). It is truly an honor to receive this award in their names. This award and the 40th anniversary of the Protein Data Bank (PDB; Berman et al., Structure 2012;20:391-396) have given me an opportunity to reflect on the various components that have contributed to building a resource for protein science and to try to quantify the impact of having PDB data openly available.
除了是蛋白质晶体学的早期先驱者之一,卡尔·布兰登(Carl Brändén)还通过他那优雅而精美的著作《蛋白质结构导论》(Introduction to Protein Structure,Brändén and Tooze,纽约:Garland,1991),为科学教育做出了重要贡献。以他们的名义获得这个奖项,我深感荣幸。这个奖项以及蛋白质数据库(PDB)成立 40 周年(Berman 等人,Structure 2012;20:391-396)让我有机会反思构建蛋白质科学资源的各个组成部分,并尝试量化公开提供 PDB 数据的影响。
