Posters	Molecular Machinery: A Tour of the Protein Data Bank features illustrations of 75 selected structures, shows their relative sizes at a scale of three million to one and generally describes their critical roles in the functions of living cells
	How Do Drugs Work? uses examples from the PDB archive to illustrate different types of drugs
Calendars	These calenders feature stylized illustrations and detailed structural descriptions
Website tutorials	These Flash tutorials developed by RCSB PDB demonstrate how to use the RCSB PDB tools Advanced Search and the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) browser (Sayers et al., 2010 ▶), and the molecular viewers Protein Workshop, KiNG (Chen et al., 2009 ▶) and Jmol
	Free narrated tutorial and supplementary materials, developed in collaboration with Openhelix, demonstrate how to use the site
