Artemis 2 - Rollout der Rakete soll morgen (17. Jan.) 13 Uhr MEZ beginnen. Zur Liveübertragung bitte ausreichend Popcorn bereithalten! Denn der riesige Crawler wird die Rakete mit einem Tempo von 1,6 km/h zum Startplatz befördern, sodass es Stunden dauern dürfte. www.nasa.gov/news-release...

Metalloproteins make up ~30% of the PDB archive.
To ensure FAIR data practices, wwPDB is remediating existing polyatomic metal-containing entries and CCDs — improving their chemical and coordination descriptions for better findability and reuse.
