  • The SBGrid Consortium provides structural biologists worldwide with access to the software they need to discover the shapes of the molecules of life. Read more in eLIFE and Acta Cryst.

  • The Project MAC display system, circa 1965. Read more about the history of molecular graphics software and UCSF Chimera in our SBGrid Tale featuring Bob Langridge and Tom Ferrin.

  • Train the Trainer Workshops: continuing education for structural biology mentors on cryoEM data processing workflows; resources PIs can take back to the laboratory. Funded by NIH R25 GM151273.

  • Personal Installation Manager: a structural biology app store; users install preferred applications/ versions on laptops or personal workstations, with graphical or CLI interfaces for Mac or Linux. More details.

  • SBCloud: AWS platform optimized for structural biology; pre-configured with scientific software for cryoEM & other techniques; user-friendly Open OnDemand interface; seamless Slurm job submission.

  • Capsules isolate the software runtime environment, encapsulating executables, libraries, and version-specific dependencies to provide conflict-free, zero-configuration access to structural biology software. Learn more.
