Knowledge about the structure and function of biomolecules continues to grow exponentially, enabling us to “see” structural snapshots of biomolecular interactions and functional assemblies. At PDB-101, the educational portal of the RCSB Protein Data Bank, we have taken a storytelling approach to make this body of knowledge accessible and comprehensible to a wide community of students, educators, and the general public. For over 20 years, the Molecule of the Month series has utilized a traditional illustrated storytelling approach that is regularly adapted for classroom instruction. Similar visual and interactive storytelling approaches are used to present topical subjects at PDB-101 and full curricular materials and case studies for building a detailed narrative around topics of particular interest. This emphasis on storytelling led to the Video Challenge for High School students, now in its 8th year. In this Article, we will present some of the lessons we have learned for teaching and communicating structural biology using the PDB archive of biomolecular structures.

用于在线结构生物学拓展和教育的分子讲故事

关于生物分子的结构和功能的知识继续呈指数增长，这使我们能够“看到”生物分子相互作用和功能组装的结构快照。在RCSB蛋白质数据库的教育门户网站PDB-101中，我们采用了讲故事的方法，以使广大学生，教育者和广大公众都可以访问和理解该知识体系。20多年来，“本月分子”系列采用了传统的插图讲故事方法，该方法通常适用于课堂教学。类似的视觉和互动讲故事方法被用于在PDB-101上介绍主题，并提供完整的课程材料和案例研究，以围绕特定兴趣的主题构建详细的叙述。对讲故事的强调导致了面向高中学生的视频挑战赛，这已经是第八年了。在本文中，我们将介绍一些我们使用生物分子结构的PDB档案库进行结构生物学的教学和交流的经验教训。
