PDB-101 Focus in 2026: Biotechnology

01/06 

Since 2014, PDB-101 has focused on different topics to help build a collection molecular stories around a particular theme. Past topics have included cancer, diabetes, and peak performance.

In 2026, PDB-101 will highlight the structural stories of Biotechnology: using biology in industry.

Many useful enzymes are robust enough to be purified and used in industrial processes. Since they act on biological molecules, these enzymes are widely used in food production. Atomic structures have revealed how these enzymes work, and how they can be improved for better function.
