Dear Robbie,
We will continue the practice that any structure deposited as a single
PDBx/mmCIF file will be
divided into SPLIT files and added to the ftp archive as usual, in all
supported formats (PDB,
PDBx/mmCIF, PDBML/XML).
Entries are split only for reasons of size. SPLIT entries currently in
the archive will remain as
they are until sometime in 2014 when we plan to consolidate all existing
and new SPLIT entries into
single large files.
Regards,
Rachel

Perhaps a silly question: will old entries with SPLIT records be
superseded by consolidated entries? And what about entries split for
other reasons than size (there are only a few of those, and they are old)?
Cheers,
Robbie

Onderwerp: [ccp4bb] "Formageddon" is upon us... Important news from wwPDB!
Dear colleagues,
I would like to draw your attention to a notification from the wwPDB
partners
about "Deposition and Release of PDB Entries Containing Large
Structures" -
see:
http://www.wwpdb.org/news/news_2013.html#22-May-2013
There are major changes afoot in the way large structures are handled
in the
PDB, as well as in the deposition and annotation procedures and
software used
by the wwPDB sites. This is of immediate relevance for depositors and
users of
large structures, but also for software developers and anyone who
routinely
processes the entire PDB archive or its weekly releases (bioinformatics
resources, etc.). From 2014, it will affect essentially everyone who
deposits,
uses or processes PDB entries.
If you have any questions about the new deposition system or the
procedures
for handling large structures or any of the other changes, please
contact:
i...@wwpdb.org
Please pass on this information to anyone likely to be affected by the
upcoming changes. Thanks!
On behalf of the Worldwide Protein Data Bank,
--Gerard Kleywegt
