[ccp4bb] PDB Archive Serves Structures Determined by Integrative and Hybrid Methods (IHM)
Dear all, Structures determined by integrative and hybrid structure determination methods (IHM) are now available alongside experimental structures in the PDB archive. These structures are deposited into and processed by the PDB-Dev system. Each IHM structure is issued a PDB ID, reported in the PDBx/mmCIF file in the _database_2 category, and “integrative” method provenance is captured at _struct.pdbx_structure_determination_methodology. Users can access and download IHM structures and associated data atfiles.wwpdb.org/pub/pdb_ihm/ <https://files.wwpdb.org/pub/pdb_ihm/>. Currently, holding files in JSON format, validation reports (summary and full reports) in PDF format, and model files in PDBx/mmCIF format are provided. * /pdb_ihm/holdings/ (current holdings, released structures last modified dates, unreleased entries) * /pdb_ihm/data/entries/hash/{PDB_id}/validation_reports/ (includes summary and full validation reports) * /pdb_ihm/data/entries/hash/{PDB_id}/structures/ (latest version of model files) * For example, https://files.wwpdb.org/pub/pdb_ihm/data/entries/zz/8zz1/structures/8zz1.cif.gz Data may be expanded in the future based on community needs. In the near future, IHM data will also be available via wwPDB DOI landing pages and wwPDB partner websites. Questions or feedback? Contactdeposit-help@mail.wwpdb.orgorpdb-...@mail.wwpdb.org.

Re: [ccp4bb] Tools for identifying possible contaminants
Dear Kyle, Clemens, and all, We use a similar approach at PDB to look for common assemblies, but using the center of mass. The item is not yet public though, but if you send me the values (that can be calculated using gemmi: https://gemmi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/mol.html#model) I can have a quick scan though released entries.

Re: [ccp4bb] searching for ligands with double conformation
Dear Anat, Replying on behalf of Chris Thorpe: The only reliable way I've found is to compare the conformations in each of the biological units and also to look for ALTLOCs. Obviously you can automate all of this, using BioPandas to compare peptide conformations (looking at position level RMSDs) and having some BioPython/Pymol code to deal with ALTLOCs and split them into different files. Hope that helps!

[ccp4bb] wwPDB: Announcing the New PDBx/mmCIF User Guide
Dear all, We are excited to announce the launch of a detailed*PDBx/mmCIF File Format User Guide* <https://mmcif.wwpdb.org/docs/user-guide/guide.html>. As the foundation for depositing, annotating, and archiving structural data across diverse experimental techniques, the Protein Data Bank Exchange macromolecular Crystallographic Information Framework (PDBx/mmCIF <https://mmcif.wwpdb.org/>) stands as the master format of the Protein Data Bank. Our user-friendly guide offers detailed explanation and examples of essential PDBx/mmCIF records, aimed to facilitate a smooth transition to this format for depositors and users alike. The wwPDB anticipates that all four-character PDB IDs will be exhausted by 2028, after which 12-character PDB IDs will be issued. Entries with extended PDB IDs will not be compatible with the legacy PDB file format and will only be available in PDBx/mmCIF format. wwPDB encourages users to transition to the PDBx/mmCIF format as soon as possible. We invite all users to participate in abrief survey <https://rutgers.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_ebusbrMCmLbB0WO>(accessible from the*PDBx/mmCIF File Format User Guide* <https://mmcif.wwpdb.org/docs/user-guide/guide.html>) to share feedback on this guide by December 15, 2024.

[ccp4bb] Coming soon: Annotation of Protein Modifications in the PDB
Dear all, The standardization of protein modification handling ensures that there is a single correct approach to handling each protein modification that occurs within the PDB archive. However, there are many existing PDB entries that contain protein modifications which do not follow these handling conventions. As part of the protein modifications remediation project, all model coordinates files containing protein modifications are being re-released to add a new protein modification data category. This new category will list all observed PCMs/PTMs within the entry, as well as their type and category, allowing better findability. A new category will also be added to the Chemical Component Definition (CCD) files. It will state whether the CCD is a known PCM, its type and category, as well as on which positions in the amino acid and in the polypeptide it is expected to be observed. If this PCM is also a known PTM, it will have the Uniprot generic PTM accession ID. Finally, any protein modifications that are inconsistently handled within a PDB entry will be amended, to ensure that a given modification is consistently handled in the PDB archive. Detailed information about this work is available from GitHub, including PDBx/mmCIF dictionary extension and a set of example files, and complete documentation of the additional annotation: https://github.com/wwPDB/protein-modification-extension Questions or feedback? Contact deposit-h...@mail.wwpdb.org.

[ccp4bb] wwPDB News: NMR Restraint Validation Paper Published
Dear all, We are pleased to announce the publication of this manuscript, addressing the challenge of validation of experimental biomolecular NMR structures against restraint data. The NMR exchange (NEF) and NMR-STAR formats provide a standardized approach for representing commonly used NMR restraints. Using these restraint formats, a standardized validation system for assessing structural models of biopolymers against restraints has been developed and implemented in the wwPDB OneDep data harvesting system. The resulting wwPDB Restraint Violation Report provides a model vs data assessment of biomolecule structures determined using distance and dihedral restraints, with extensions to other restraint types currently being implemented. These tools are useful for assessing NMR models, as well as for assessing biomolecular structure predictions based on distance restraints. We present the rationale for model-vs-data restraint validation by the wwPDB, together with summary of validation tools and reports for NMR distance and dihedral restraints that have been developed, as implemented in the wwPDB validation pipeline and recommended by the wwPDB NMR-VTF committee. *Restraint Validation of Biomolecular Structures Determined by NMR in the Protein Data Bank* Kumaran Baskaran, Eliza Ploskon, Roberto Tejero, Masashi Yokochi, Deborah Harrus, Yuhe Liang, Ezra Peisach, Irina Persikova, Theresa A Ramelot, Monica Sekharan, James Tolchard, John D Westbrook, Benjamin Bardiaux, Charles Schwieters, Ardan Patwardhan, Sameer Velankar, Stephen K Burley, Genji Kurisu, Jeffrey C Hoch, Gaetano T Montelione, Geerten W Vuister, Jasmine Y Young (2024)/Structure/32, 1–14: doi:10.1016/j.str.2024.02.011 <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.str.2024.02.011> The wwPDB plans to further enhance validation report by providing model-vs-data quality assessment for other kinds of restraints based on community recommendation and improve data representation on structures with multiple conformation states.

[ccp4bb] wwPDB News: CryoEM Archiving and Validation Recommendations
Dear all, A workshop was held at EMBL-EBI (Hinxton, UK) in January 2020 to discuss data requirements for deposition and validation of cryoEM structures, with a focus on single-particle analysis and setting community recommendations. The outcomes of this meeting have now been published in this manuscript which highlights the recent achievements made by the wwPDB in the space of 3DEM validation and the community recommendations going forward. Some of these recommendations have already been implemented, such as a three-tiered strategy powered by the Validation Analysis (VA) pipeline for the dissemination of validation information and ensuring the that VA can be run by external applications. *Community recommendations on cryoEM data archiving and validation* Gerard J.

[ccp4bb] wwPDB News: Latest Developments on the EMDB Published
Dear all, We are please to announce the publication of this manuscript, addressing the recent developments in the archiving of 3DEM data and the future plans for the EMDB. The burgeoning popularity of the electron microscopy field has been coupled with new technologies and software solutions, together this has pushed exponential growth in yearly depositions, increases in the resolution of the deposited data, and, consequently, accuracy of molecule models associated with 3DEM data. As the EMDB continues to grow it remains dedicated to delivering a world-class archive that adheres to FAIR principles. In addition, we recognise the importance of easy and open access to accurately curated data for the various users of the archive, we plan to continue to facilitate and enhance this moving forward.

Re: [ccp4bb] Crystallizing a tough target
Dear Kavya, I'm sure there are several similar stories to learn from. I've worked with a point-mutant of a "normal" protein which made it thermostable - as revealed by DSF. It also resulted in an increased solubility, and the thing could be concentrated to 100 mg/mL and left on the bench for weeks with no alteration. It crystallized, but sadly (and understandably) never diffracted. One option for crystallizing your protein could be to look for buffers which make it a bit less soluble? So you wouldn't have to concentrate it to so high values, and start nucleation at a lower concentration? Again, scanning several buffers/protein concentration ratios, using DSF, would be one possibility. You're looking for the sweet spot to start nucleation. Don't be afraid to try uncommon buffers, pH values, temperatures. Other option would be to test using nucleanting agent - crystallophores, Naomi's nucleant, nanodiamonds, dried seaweed powder, hair... Or even a crystal seed from another protein might help. Good luck! Deborah On 05/02/2024 10:27, kavyashreem wrote: Dear All, Has anyone worked on a protein which is highly soluble even at 80mg/ml? We have one such candidate, which does not precipitate even at 80mg/ml instead forms phase separated globules in crystallization plate, which eventually hardens over a period of 1 to 1.5 months (which is florescent under UV microscope.) We tried screening at different pH, but failed to get any hits. Since we got few conditions in which the phase separated globules solidified, we focused on them and expanded with 120mg/ml protein, still there were not visible precipitates except for the phase separation. This has been a challenging target so far. We have tried with different constructs, which unfortunately are not soluble! Does POMs help in such cases? Or do you have any other suggestion.

[ccp4bb] wwPDB News: Resources for Supporting the Extended PDB ID Format (pdb_00001abc)
Dear all, wwPDB anticipates that all the four character PDB accession codes (PDB ID) will be consumed by 2029. With the continuous growth of PDB archive, wwPDB has revised the PDB accession code format by extending its length and prepending “PDB” (e.g., "1abc" will become "pdb_1abc"). This process will enable text mining detection of PDB entries in the published literature and allow for more informative and transparent delivery of revised data files. Entries with extended PDB IDs (12 characters) will not be compatible with the legacy PDB file format once four-character PDB IDs are consumed. wwPDB encourages scientific journals, PDB community and users to transition to using the PDBx/mmCIF format and the extended PDB ID format as soon as possible. Resources are available to help PDB users with this transition through thewwPDB resource portal page (Extended PDB ID With 12 Characters) <https://www.wwpdb.org/documentation/new-format-for-pdb-ids>. This page links to useful resources for handling this change, including anFAQ on PDB ID extension <https://www.wwpdb.org/documentation/pdb-id-extension-faq>, materials to learn more about PDBx/mmCIF format, and links to other PDBx/mmCIF resources and software tools. As the transition phase progresses, more training resources will be added to this page. Additionally, a PDB “beta” archive will be provided during the transition phase in 2026. The directory structure of this “beta” archive will mirror the data organization of thePDB Versioned Archive <http://files-versioned.wwpdb.org/>in the form of https://files-beta.org/pub/pdb/data/entries//two-letter-hash///pdb_accession_code///entry_data_File_names/. The two-letter hash will be based on the n-2 and n-3 characters. For example, PDB entry PDB_12345678 will be under /67/. This will maintain consistency with the current PDB archive, where e.g. PDB entry 1abc is under /ab. Once all the four character PDB accession codes are consumed, this PDB “beta” archive will become the PDB main archive and the current PDB archive will be removed. Download example files containing extended PDB IDs for software adoptionfrom GitHub <https://github.com/wwPDB/extended-wwPDB-identifier-examples>. wwPDB recently announced that PDB three-character Chemical Component IDs have been consumed. <https://www.wwpdb.org/news/news?year=2023#656f4404d78e004e766a96c6>Five-character alphanumeric accession codes for CCD IDs are now issued by the OneDep system.

In the structure, one crystal packing interface is mediated by a compound with two coordinate covalent bonds to two macromolecules from different asymmetric units. Thus I need to specify two "LINK" records in the head of pdb file. The "LINK" record between the compound and macromolecule in the same asymmetric unit is generated by refmac automatically. However, refmac does not generate the other "LINK" between the compound and the symmetric macromolecule. Thus I want to add the LINK record myself. As the LINK is between different symmetric molecules, I need to specify the symmetry code, such as "1555", "2555" and so on. The symmetry code is dependent on the "REMARK 290" record.

[ccp4bb] wwPDB News - PDB Entries with Novel Ligands Now Distributed Only in PDBx/mmCIF and PDBML File Formats
Dear all, The PDB three-character Chemical Component IDs are consumed and *PDB has begun issuing five-character alphanumeric accession codes for CCD IDs in the OneDep system*. To avoid confusion with current four-character PDB IDs, four-character codes are not used. Owing to limitations of the legacy PDB file format, PDB entries containing the new five character ID codes are distributed in PDBx/mmCIF and PDBML formats and will not be supported by the legacy PDB file format (see previous announcement <https://www.wwpdb.org/news/news?year=2023#63ff72ccc031758bf1c30ff7>). In addition, wwPDB has reserved a set of CCD IDs: 01 - 99, DRG, INH, LIG that will never be used in the PDB. These reserved codes can be used for new ligands during structure determination so that they can be identified as new upon deposition and added to the CCD during biocuration. wwPDB is asking users and software developers to review their code and remove any current limitations on PDB and CCD ID lengths, and to enable use of PDBx/mmCIF format files. Example files with extended PDB and/or CCD IDs are available via GitHub <https://github.com/wwPDB/extended-wwPDB-identifier-examples>to assist with code revisions.

[ccp4bb] wwPDB News: Backbone Annotation and Standardization of Peptide Residues is Now Live
Dear all, The wwPDB has rolled out updated Chemical Component Dictionary (CCD) data files with standardized atom naming and additional annotation of protein backbone and terminal atoms within peptide residues. Entries containing those updated CCDs have been updated accordingly. This improves the Findability and Interoperability of the PDB data and opens up new opportunities to use the updated peptide residue annotation. As announced previously <https://www.wwpdb.org/news/news?year=2023#64bff95ed78e004e766a9687>, new data items have been added to the CCD files for peptide-linking components to label atoms that form the backbone, N- or C-terminal groups. Three new CCD data items have been added to the CCD category _chem_comp_atom as pdbx_backbone_flag, pdbx_N-terminal_flag and pdbx_C-terminal_flag, flagging the backbone, N-terminal and C-terminal atoms, respectively. Furthermore, we have standardized the atom nomenclature of peptide backbone atoms in CCD files to follow a standard convention. This follows a set of rules, outlined in ourdocumentation <https://www.wwpdb.org/documentation/peptides-remediation>, ensuring that atom nomenclature for carboxyl groups, amino groups and side chain linked carbons (C-alpha) follow a standard atom nomenclature. This allows clear identification of backbone atoms for peptide residues across the whole archive. Questions or feedback? contactdeposit-h...@mail.wwpdb.org. The peptide residues chemical component dictionary remediation project is part of the protein chemical modifications (PCMs) and post translational modifications (PTMs) remediation project, a wwPDB collaborative project carried out principally byPDBe <https://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe/>atEMBL-EBI <https://www.ebi.ac.uk/>, and is funded by BBSRC grant number BB/V018779/1.

[ccp4bb] AlphaFold Database introduces sequence-based search and structure cluster members
Dear all, We are excited to announce two significant functionalities added to the AlphaFold Protein Structure Database (AlphaFold DB). The database has expanded since its inception in 2021 to cover over 214 million predicted structures from Google Deepmind’s AlphaFold 2 system. We now introduce sequence similarity-based search and enhanced prediction pages by displaying structurally similar predictions. The sequence-similarity search is powered by the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST <https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/doc/blast-help/downloadblastdata.html#downloadblastdata>) which enables finding relevant predicted structures based on a protein sequence. Sequence search results have been integrated to our current search results pages, highlighting reviewed status and reference proteome. In a collaboration with the Steinegger lab and to make the navigation of the structural landscape easier, we have incorporated the clustering algorithm, Foldseek Cluster <https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06510-w>. For a streamlined experience, we have added the new structure similarity cluster feature that has been added directly to the prediction pages. We believe that these new features will make AlphaFold DB even more useful and accessible to the scientific community. To learn more, please visit the AlphaFold DB website at https://alphafold.ebi.ac.uk/.

The addition of PDBx/mmCIF files in the archive will bring parity between EMDB and PDB (EM experimental data vs 3D structures) in the way metadata is served while improving the consistency and interoperability between the two archives. EMDB entries released before October 2023 will have PDBx/mmCIF files added at a later date. The description of PDBx/mmCIF categories and items featured in EM metadata files can be found in the PDBx/mmCIF dictionary <https://mmcif.wwpdb.org/dictionaries/mmcif_pdbx_v50.dic/Groups/em_group.html>. For an EMDB entry EMD-x, PDBx/mmCIF file name will be emd-x.cif.gz and it will be located in the entry's subfolder called metadata (EMD-x/metadata) in the wwPDB archive repositories: * EMDB: https://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/emdb/structures/ * wwPDB: https://files.wwpdb.org/pub/emdb/structures/ * RCSB PDB (US): https://files.rcsb.org/pub/emdb/structures/ * PDBe (UK): https://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/emdb/structures/ * PDBj (Japan): https://files.pdbj.org/pub/emdb/structures/ Read this news online <http://www.wwpdb.org/news/news?year=2023#651c49e2d78e004e766a96a4> Kind regards, Deborah Harrus, on behalf of the wwPDB -- ----------- Deborah Harrus, Ph.D. PDBe Archive Project Leader, Biocuration Lead PDBe - Protein Data Bank in Europe European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) European Molecular Biology Laboratory Wellcome Trust Genome Campus Hinxton Cambridge CB10 1SD UK http://www.PDBe.org --- To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/WA-JISC.exe?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1 This message was issued to members of www.jiscmail.ac.uk/CCP4BB, a mailing list hosted by www.jiscmail.ac.uk, terms & conditions are available at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/policyandsecurity/

Re: [ccp4bb] mmciif pdb file editor.
Dear Krish, As Harry mentioned, a simple text editor will work. May I recommend using Visual Studio Code using the CIF extension by Heikki Kainulainen? https://github.com/hmkainul/vscode-cif / https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=thisperiodictable.cif Cheers, Deborah On 31/08/2023 09:06, Harry Powell wrote: Hi There is no particular special editor from PDB (or from anywhere else, as far as I know) for doing this - mmCIF is basically a simple text file with a defined set of contents. It frees you from the tyranny of fixed-width columns that your have in the historic PDB file. I’d just use whatever text editor you have on your system - so on LInux or Mac, something like vim, emacs, nano, on Windows Notepad. No need for anything special. But I’d also be wary about screwing up the file completely with your edits - it’s easy to turn a compliant file into something invalid.

[ccp4bb] wwPDB News: Updated Annotation and Standardization of Peptide Residues
Dear all, In October 2023, the wwPDB will roll out updated Chemical Component Dictionary (CCD) data files with standardized atom naming and additional annotation of protein backbone and terminal atoms within peptide residues. Entries containing those updated CCDs will also be updated accordingly. This will improve the Findability and Interoperability of the PDB data, as well as open up new opportunities to use the updated peptide residue annotation. As part of this remediation process, we will add new data items to the CCD files for peptide-linking components to label atoms that form the backbone, N- or C-terminal groups. Three new CCD data items will be added to the CCD category _chem_comp_atom as pdbx_backbone_flag, pdbx_n-terminal_flag and pdbx_c-terminal_flag, flagging the backbone, N-terminal and C-terminal atoms, respectively. Furthermore, we will be standardizing the atom nomenclature of peptide backbone atoms in CCD files to follow a standard convention. This will follow a set of rules, outlined in the documentation linked below, ensuring that atom nomenclature for carboxyl groups, amino groups and side chain linked carbons (C-alpha) follow a standard atom nomenclature. This will allow clear identification of backbone atoms for peptide residues across the whole archive. Detailed information about this work is available from the wwPDB website, including PDBx/mmCIF dictionary extension and example files (GitHub <https://github.com/wwPDB/backbone-extension>; Peptide Residues Chemical Component Dictionary Remediation Documentation <http://www.wwpdb.org/documentation/peptides-remediation>). Updated peptide CCDs will have standardized atom names and backbone / N- and C- terminal annotation./ / /Updated peptide CCDs will have standardized atom names and backbone / N- and C- terminal annotation./ We encourage developers of software packages for refinement or visualization of PDB data to review this information. Questions or feedback? Contact deposit-h...@mail.wwpdb.org.

[ccp4bb] wwPDB News: PDB NextGen Archive Now Provides Intra-molecular Connectivity
Dear all, Version 1.0 of the next generation archive repository (NextGen) for the PDB archive was made available in early 2023 <http://www.wwpdb.org/news/news?year=2023#63cedad9b5f08ee94ab73826>. This “NextGen” archive hosts enriched atomic coordinate files, in both PDBx/mmCIF and PDBML formats, with files available to download at files-nextgen.wwpdb.org <https://files-nextgen.wwpdb.org/>. The initial launch of the NextGen archive <http://www.wwpdb.org/news/news?year=2023#63cedad9b5f08ee94ab73826> enriched coordinate files from the core PDB archive with sequence annotation from external resources such as UniProt, SCOP2 and Pfam at atom, residue, and chain levels. After consulting with user community, this release has added intra-molecular connectivity for each residue present in an entry, helping users transitioning from legacy PDB format to PDBx/mmCIF format <http://www.wwpdb.org/news/news?year=2023#63ff72ccc031758bf1c30ff7>. The connectivity information includes atom pairs, bond order, aromatic flag, and stereochemistry as incorporated from the PDB Chemical Component Dictionary (CCD). Users can extract this information from the /_chem_comp_bond/ and /_chem_comp_atom/ categories of the PDBx/mmCIF-formatted files from the NextGen archive. To transition from legacy PDB format to PDBx/mmCIF, the file naming and data are structured based on extended PDB IDs <http://www.wwpdb.org/news/news?year=2023#63ff72ccc031758bf1c30ff7> with a two letter hash code, ‘third from last character' and 'second from last character’. This hash code will remain consistent once PDB ID codes are extended beyond four characters with the pdb_ prefix, e.g., PDB entry 8aly: https://files-nextgen.wwpdb.org/pdb_nextgen/data/entries/divided/al/pdb_8aly/pdb_8aly_xyz-enrich.cif.gz. Users are encouraged to adopt PDBx/mmCIF format as early as possible. Learn more about PDBx/mmCIF format and related software resources at mmcif.wwpdb.org <https://mmcif.wwpdb.org/>. In the future, the PDB NextGen archive will continue to be updated with more enriched annotations from external database resources in the metadata, building on the content already provided in the structure model files in the PDB archive at files.wwpdb.org <https://files.wwpdb.org/>.

[ccp4bb] wwPDB: NMR restraint remediation conforms to standard NMR-STAR and NEF format
Dear all, NMR data files are standardized in NEF <https://www.nature.com/articles/nsmb.3041> and NMR-STAR format [Ulrich, 2019 <https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10858-018-0220-3>] for the PDB entries which have NMR data in many different software specific formats. This remediation project provides unified NMR data in single NMR-STAR/NEF file for the PDB entries. wwPDB is moving forward single file upload for NMR data (restraints, chemical shifts and possibly peak list) in NMR-STAR/NEF format and will eventually phase out the upload of software specific format in OneDep in future. During this transition period, OneDep converts certain restraint formats into NMR-STAR/NEF at the deposition and provides users with NMR restraint validation <https://www.wwpdb.org/news/news?year=2020#5fc8e8ab09ae2a096d081e27> in wwPDB validation reports for NMR entries having assigned chemical shifts and reasonable restraints in following supported formats: AMBER, BIOSYM, CHARMM, CNS, CYANA, DYNAMO/TALOS/PALES, GROMACS, ISD, ROSETTA, SYBYL, and XPLOR-NIH Depending on complexity of restraints and whether spectral peak lists have been deposited, the first rollout includes NMR entries with simple restraints in the supported formats and without spectral peak lists. The next rollout will include entries with spectral peak lists. Entries which met the following criteria are the scope for remediation: * Both assigned chemical shifts and restraints have been deposited to the PDB * A valid topology file or specific comments must be present to interpret restraint files in a specific format (i.e. AMBER, CHARMM, GROMACS) * All atoms described in NMR data (assigned chemical shifts and restraints) are consistent with model’s atoms * Sequence alignment between the model and restraints matches, allowing terminal sequence extensions NMR-STAR format is the master format used to handle wide variety of restraints in this NMR restraint remediation project. Data items starting with “Auth_asym_ID”, “Auth_seq_ID”, “Auth_comp_ID”, and “Auth_atom_ID” terms, i.e. “_Gen_dist_constraint.Auth_seq_ID_1”, point to equivalent data items in mmCIF, “_atom_site.auth_asym_id”, “_atom_site.auth_seq_id”, “_atom_site.auth_comp_id”, “_atom_site.auth_atom_id”, respectively. Complete atom name mapping information is incorporated using “_Assembly” and “_Entity” categories. NMR constraints used by structure determination software but not covered by the NMR-STAR ontology, such as chemical planarity, equilibrium bond angle, non-crystallographic symmetry, etc., are stored as JSON data under "_Other_constraint_list.text_data" tag to ensure no information is lost during remediation. Furthermore, statistics on remediated restraints are available. NEF data files are provided as best effort conversions from the master NMR-STAR data files. New unified NMR data files in NEF and NMR-STAR formats of existing NMR entries are distributed in the “nmr_data” directory of the PDB archive in the same manner for entries accompanied by the single NMR data file (https://files.wwpdb.org/pub/pdb/data/structures/divided/nmr_data/) and at BMRB archive (https://bmrb.io/ftp/pub/bmrb/nmr_pdb_integrated_data/coordinates_restraints_chemshifts/remediated_restraints). The existing data files in the PDB archive directories “nmr_chemical_shifts” and “nmr_restraints” are remained as is. To retrieve NMR data, users should primarily obtain unified NMR data files at ../nmr_data directory. Conventional chemical shifts and restraints can be used only if unified NMR data are not available. For newly deposited NMR entries with conventional separated NMR data files, OneDep now unifies assigned chemical shifts and restraints into a single data file, which can be accessed from OneDep upload summary page. After submission, depositors can not roll back to the conventional formats. wwPDB validation reports are re-calculated to provide NMR restraint validation for the target entries. NMR restraints can be interpreted and weighted differently by various software during structure calculation. The NMR restraints validation software employs a more general approach recommended by NMR-VTF, independently verifying the satisfaction of each restraint in every model. This can occasionally result in a large number of violations when the actual structure determination software adopts a different approach or assigns less weight during structure calculation.

[ccp4bb] New release of PISA-lite software for calculating macromolecular interaction data
** *Dear all,* * We are excited to announce the release of the new version of the PISA software, developed at PDBe, based on the jsPISA implementation from CCP4. This new version, PISA-lite, developed in collaboration with the CCP4 core team, enables the calculation of macromolecular interaction data for every assembly in the PDB. PISA-lite generates new and enhanced PISA interaction data based on all the annotated assemblies in the PDB archive and is available in JSON format from the PDBe API. It is designed to reduce the computational overhead of the software by working only on known assemblies in PDB entries and calculating interactions. By focusing on known assemblies, PISA-lite enables the weekly calculation of macromolecular interactions for each assembly in the PDB, providing up-to-date information on protein structures and their interactions. These pre-calculated annotations can then be provided for every PDB entry to support researchers in structural biology, bioinformatics, and related fields.

[ccp4bb] wwPDB News: PDB entries with extended CCD or PDB IDs will be distributed in PDBx/mmCIF format only
Dear all, As announced previously, wwPDB, in collaboration with thePDBx/mmCIF Working Group <https://www.wwpdb.org/task/mmcif>, has set plans to extend the length of accession codes (IDs) for PDB and Chemical Component Dictionary (CCD) entries in the future. PDB entries containing these extended IDs will not be supported by the legacy PDB file format. (see previous announcement <https://www.wwpdb.org/news/news?year=2021#607760112786e73a79c76f9d>: https://www.wwpdb.org/news/news?year=2021#607760112786e73a79c76f9d) CCD ID extension CCD entries are currently identified by unique three-character alphanumeric IDs. At current growth rates, we anticipate running out of three-character IDs before 2024. After this point, the wwPDB will issue*five-character alphanumeric accession codes for CCD IDs*in the OneDep system. To avoid confusion with current four-character PDB IDs, four-character codes will not be used. Owing to limitations of the legacy PDB file format, PDB entries containing the new five character ID codes will only be distributed in PDBx/mmCIF format. In addition, wwPDB has reserved a set of CCD IDs: 01 - 99, DRG, INH, LIG that will never be used in the PDB. These reserved codes can be used for new ligands during structure determination so that they can be identified as new upon deposition and added to the CCD during biocuration. PDB ID extension wwPDB will be extending PDB ID length to eight characters prefixed by ‘pdb’, e.g., pdb_1abc. Each PDB entry has a corresponding Digital Object Identifier (DOI), often required for manuscript submission to journals and described in publications by the structure authors. Extended PDB IDs and corresponding PDB DOIs have been included in the PDBx/mmCIF formatted atomic coordinate files for all new and re-released entries since August 2021. For example, PDB entry issued with 4-character PDB ID, 1abc, will have the extended PDB ID (pdb_1abc) and corresponding PDB DOI (10.2210/pdb1abc/pdb), as listed in the _database_2 PDBx/mmCIF category. loop_ _database_2.database_id _database_2.database_code _database_2.pdbx_database_accession _database_2.pdbx_DOI PDB 1abc pdb_1abc 10.2210/pdb1abc/pdb For example, PDB entry issued with 8-character PDB ID, pdb_00099xyz, after all 4-character IDs are consumed: loop_ _database_2.database_id _database_2.database_code _database_2.pdbx_database_accession _database_2.pdbx_DOI PDB pdb_00099xyz pdb_00099xyz 10.2210/pdb_00099xyz/pdb After all four-character PDB IDs are consumed, newly-deposited PDB entries will only be issued extended PDB ID codes, and PDB entries will only be distributed in PDBx/mmCIF format. PDB entries with four-character PDB IDs will remain unchanged. Resources wwPDB is asking users and software developers to review their code and remove any current limitations on PDB and CCD ID lengths, and to enable use of PDBx/mmCIF format files. Example files with extended PDB and/or CCD IDs are available via github to assist code revisions, seehttps://github.com/wwPDB/extended-wwPDB-identifier-examples.

[ccp4bb] PDB Reaches a New Milestone: 200,000+ Entries
Dear all, With this week's update, the PDB archive contains a record 200,069 entries. The archive passed 150,000 structures in 2019 and 100,000 structures in 2014. Established in 1971, this central, public archive has reached this critical milestone thanks to the efforts of structural biologists throughout the world who contribute their experimentally-determined protein and nucleic acid structure data. wwPDB data centers support online access to three-dimensional structures of biological macromolecules that help researchers understand many facets of biomedicine, agriculture, and ecology, from protein synthesis to health and disease to biological energy. Many milestones have been reached since the archive released the 100,000th structure in 2014. PDB data have been seminal in understanding SARS-CoV-2, and provided the foundation for the development of AI/ML techniques for predicting protein structure. The 50th anniversary of the PDB was celebrated throughout 2021. Today, the archive is quite large, containing more than 3,000,000 files related to these PDB entries that require more than 1086 Gbytes of storage. PDB structures contain more than 1.8 billion non-hydrogen atoms. In the 1950s, scientists had their first direct look at the structures of proteins and DNA at the atomic level. Determination of these early three-dimensional structures by X-ray crystallography ushered in a new era in biology-one driven by the intimate link between form and biological function. As the value of archiving and sharing these data were quickly recognized by the scientific community, the Protein Data Bank (PDB) was established as the first open access digital resource in all of biology by an international collaboration in 1971 with data centers located in the US and the UK. Among the first structures deposited in the PDB were those of myoglobin and hemoglobin, two oxygen-binding molecules whose structures were elucidated by Chemistry Nobel Laureates John Kendrew and Max Perutz. With this week's regular update, the PDB welcomes 266 new structures into the archive. These structures join others vital to drug discovery, bioinformatics and education. The PDB is growing rapidly, increasing in size ~13% since 2011. In 2022, an average of 275 new structures were released to the scientific community each week. The resource is accessed hundreds of millions of times annually by researchers, students, and educators intent on exploring how different proteins are related to one another, to clarify fundamental biological mechanisms and discover new medicines. Since its inception, the PDB has been a community-driven enterprise, evolving into a mission critical international resource for biological research. The wwPDB partnership was established in July 2003 with PDBe, PDBj, and RCSB PDB. Today, the collaboration includes partners BMRB (joined in 2006) and EMDB (2021). The wwPDB ensures that these valuable PDB data are securely stored, expertly managed, and made freely available for the benefit of scientists and educators around the globe. wwPDB data centers work closely with community experts to define deposition and annotation policies, resolve data representation issues, and implement community validation standards. In addition, the wwPDB works to raise the profile of structural biology with increasingly broad audiences. Each structure submitted to the archive is carefully curated by wwPDB staff before release. New depositions are checked and enhanced with value-added annotations and linked with other important biological data to ensure that PDB structures are discoverable and interpretable by users with a wide range of backgrounds and interests. wwPDB eagerly awaits the next 100,000 structures and the invaluable knowledge these new data will bring.

[ccp4bb] Deprecation of FTP File Download Protocol in the PDB Archive
Dear all, The FTP protocol for file downloads has been losing popularity over the years in favor of HTTP/S. There are many advantages of HTTP/S including speed, statelessness, security (HTTPS), and better support. Importantly during the past 2-3 years the main web browsers (Chrome and Firefox) have dropped support for the FTP protocol, which has effectively discontinued the FTP protocol for non-technical users. Given that the majority of file download activity on the internet has moved to HTTP/S, wwPDB plans to deprecate FTP download protocol on November 1st 2024. wwPDB has traditionally supported FTP, together with HTTP/S and RSYNC. Gradual deprecation of the FTP protocol, in favor of the HTTP/HTTPS protocol will be approached while maintaining support for the RSYNC protocol which offers additional functionality compared to the other 2 protocols. As announced previously (http://www.wwpdb.org/news/news?year=2022#6303be3b707ecd4f63b3d3d9), we have introduced DNS names that are specific to the protocols: * files.wwpdb.org for HTTP/S * ftp.wwpdb.org for FTP. To be deprecated on November 1st 2024. Note that from September 2023 this DNS name will not accept HTTP/S traffic. * rsync.wwpdb.org for RSYNC Starting September 2023, wwPDB will start enforcing use of these updated DNS names for the preparation of FTP protocol deprecation. Please contact i...@wwpdb.org with any questions.

[ccp4bb] AlphaFold DB models superposed on PDB structures at PDBe-KB
** *Dear colleagues,* * We have expanded the superposition process at the PDBe-KB aggregated views of proteins to allow superposition of the predicted model from the AlphaFold Protein Structure Database (AlphaFold DB). This new feature loads the model from AlphaFold DB on demand and superposes it to the equivalent PDB structures, using the superposition functionality through the Mol* molecular viewer. This allows easy comparison of the different conformational states of a given protein in the PDB with the models predicted in AlphaFold DB, to identify if the predicted model represents a specific conformational state. You can view the structure superposition for a specific protein (per UniProt accession) at the PDBe-KB aggregated views of proteins (pdbekb.org/protein). The superposition can be accessed from the Summary or Structures tabs using the green buttons labelled ‘3D view of superposed structures’.

[ccp4bb] wwPDB Charter: Full and Associate Members
Dear all, Founded in 2003, the Worldwide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB) is dedicated to archiving, management, and public dissemination of structural biology data, and is committed to the FAIR Principles (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, Reusability) that are emblematic of responsible stewardship of public domain information. wwPDB operations are governed by the wwPDB Charter (which can be read at: https://cdn.rcsb.org/wwpdb/img/about/2021_wwPDB_Charter_with_Appendix.pdf), which was most recently renewed in 2021. The renewed agreement provides for two types of wwPDB membership--Full and Associate. Current wwPDB Full Members include three founding members [Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics Protein Data Bank (RCSB PDB, USA), Protein Data Bank in Europe (PDBe, United Kingdom), and Protein Data Bank Japan (PDBj, Japan)] and two specialist data resource members [Biological Magnetic Resonance Bank (BMRB, USA and Japan; joined in 2006) and Electron Microscopy Data Bank (EMDB, United Kingdom; joined in 2021)]. Full Members jointly manage three wwPDB Core Archives, including the Protein Data Bank, the Biological Magnetic Resonance Bank, and the Electron Microscopy Data Bank. Data safety and security and periodic archival updates are the primary responsibility of three wwPDB-designated Archive Keepers, including RCSB PDB for the Protein Data Bank, BMRB for the Biological Magnetic Resonance Bank, and EMDB for the Electron Microscopy Data Bank. The wwPDB acknowledges the importance of global equity in the ability to deposit and access data, and the need for international involvement and collaboration in maintaining the wwPDB Core Archives. The renewed wwPDB Charter describes the Associate Membership program, wherein Associate Members are expected to contribute to some of the wwPDB activities (deposition, validation, biocuration, remediation, storage, dissemination of public-domain structural biology data stored in one or more wwPDB Core Archives).

[ccp4bb] Improved EM validation with Q-score
Dear all, As announced previously, wwPDB validation of 3DEM structures for which there is both a model and an EM volume will now include the Q-score metric (Pintilie, G., et al., 2020, Nat. Methods). This follows recommendations from the wwPDB/EMDB workshop on cryo-EM data management, deposition and validation in 2020 (white paper in preparation), as well as EM Validation Challenge events (Lawson C., et al., 2020, Struct. Dyn.; Lawson, et al., 2021, Nat. Methods). This will be the first quantitative parameter of residue and chain resolvability for EM maps in wwPDB validation reports and will provide an additional map-model assessment criterion. The Q-score calculates the resolvability of atoms by measuring similarity of the map values around each atom relative to a Gaussian-like function for a well resolved atom. Q-score of 1 indicates that the similarity is perfect whilst closer to 0 indicates the similarity is low. If the atom is not well placed in the map then a negative Q-score value may be reported. Therefore, Q-score values in the reports will be in a range of -1 to +1. The wwPDB EM validation reports will provide Q-scores for single particle, helical reconstruction, electron crystallography and subtomogram averaging entries for which both an EM map and coordinate model have been deposited. Validation reports (PDF files) will contain images of the average per-residue Q-scores color-mapped onto ribbon models with views from three orthogonal directions. Similar images will also be introduced to visualize the per-residue atom-inclusion scores. Comparison of these two sets of images will assist in visual assessment of the model-to-map fit and quality. To see example images of models where residues are colored according to their Q-score, please visit the news page on the wwPDB website: http://www.wwpdb.org/news/news?year=2022#63288a46831916e52206a1f0 The validation reports will also contain a table of average per-chain values of both metrics (Q-score and atom inclusion) as well as their overall average values for the entire model. The per-residue and the per-chain average atom-inclusion and Q-score values will also be provided in the mmCIF and XML formatted validation files. The mmCIF categories _pdbx_vrpt_summary_entity_fit_to_map and _pdbx_vrpt_model_instance_map_fitting will be introduced to include both the Q-scores and atom-inclusion values. The existing items, _pdbx_vrpt_summary_entity_geometry.average_residue_inclusion (https://mmcif.wwpdb.org/dictionaries/mmcif_pdbx_vrpt.dic/Items/_pdbx_vrpt_summary_entity_geometry.average_residue_inclusion.html) and _pdbx_vrpt_model_instance_geometry.residue_inclusion (https://mmcif.wwpdb.org/dictionaries/mmcif_pdbx_vrpt.dic/Items/_pdbx_vrpt_model_instance_geometry.residue_inclusion.html) for atom inclusion will no longer be used. The PDB Core Archive holds validation reports that assess each 3DEM model in the PDB along with the associated experimental 3D volume in EMDB. Validation reports of 3DEM structures (map and model) can be downloaded at the following wwPDB mirrors: - wwPDB: https://ftp.wwpdb.org/pub/pdb/validation_reports/ - RCSB PDB: https://ftp.rcsb.org/pub/pdb/validation_reports/ - PDBe: https://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/pdb/validation_reports/ - PDBj: https://ftp.pdbj.org/pub/pdb/validation_reports/ The EMDB Core Archive holds validation reports that assess each EMDB map/tomogram entry.

[ccp4bb] PDB entries with extended CCD or PDB IDs will be distributed in the PDBx/mmCIF format only
Dear all, wwPDB, in collaboration with the PDBx/mmCIF Working Group, has set plans to extend the length of accession codes (IDs) for PDB and Chemical Component Dictionary (CCD) entries in the future. PDB entries containing these extended IDs will not be supported by the legacy PDB file format. (see previous announcement here: https://www.wwpdb.org/news/news?year=2021#607760112786e73a79c76f9d) CCD entries are currently identified by unique three-character alphanumeric IDs. At current growth rates, we anticipate running out of three-character IDs before 2024. After this point, the wwPDB will issue five-character alphanumeric accession codes for CCD IDs in the OneDep system. To avoid confusion with current four-character PDB IDs, four-character codes will not be used. Owing to limitations of the legacy PDB file format, PDB entries containing the new five character ID codes will only be distributed in PDBx/mmCIF format. In addition, wwPDB has reserved a set of CCD IDs: 01 - 99, DRG, INH, LIG that will never be used in the PDB. These reserved codes can be used for new ligands during structure determination so that they can be identified as new upon deposition and added to the CCD during biocuration. wwPDB will be extending PDB ID length to eight characters prefixed by ‘pdb’, e.g., pdb_1abc. Each PDB entry has a corresponding Digital Object Identifier (DOI), often required for manuscript submission to journals and described in publications by the structure authors. Extended PDB IDs and corresponding PDB DOIs have been included in the PDBx/mmCIF formatted atomic coordinate files for all new and re-released entries since August 2021. For example, PDB entry issued with 4-character PDB ID, 1abc, will have the extended PDB ID (pdb_1abc) and corresponding PDB DOI (10.2210/pdb1abc/pdb), as listed in the _database_2 PDBx/mmCIF category. loop_ _database_2.database_id _database_2.database_code _database_2.pdbx_database_accession _database_2.pdbx_DOI PDB 1abc pdb_1abc 10.2210/pdb1abc/pdb For example, PDB entry issued with 8-character PDB ID, pdb_00099xyz, after all 4-character IDs are consumed: loop_ _database_2.database_id _database_2.database_code _database_2.pdbx_database_accession _database_2.pdbx_DOI PDB pdb_00099xyz pdb_00099xyz 10.2210/pdb_00099xyz/pdb After all four-character PDB IDs are consumed, newly-deposited PDB entries will only be issued extended PDB ID codes, and PDB entries will only be distributed in PDBx/mmCIF format. PDB entries with four-character PDB IDs will remain unchanged. wwPDB is asking users and software developers to review their code and remove any current limitations on PDB and CCD ID lengths, and to enable use of PDBx/mmCIF format files. Example files with extended PDB and/or CCD IDs are available via github to assist code revisions, see https://github.com/wwPDB/extended-wwPDB-identifier-examples.

[ccp4bb] Distributing PDBx/mmCIF-Formatted Assembly Files
Dear all, Starting May 3, 2022, the PDB archive distributes assembly files in PDBx/mmCIF format, allowing direct access and visualization of the curated assemblies for all PDB entries (original announcement <https://www.wwpdb.org/news/news?year=2022#61f7f8bc8f40f9265109d398>). Previously, PDBx/mmCIF formatted assembly files provided for structures were non-PDB compliant, however the coordinates use model numbers to differentiate alternate symmetry copies of PDB chain IDs. This method is not ideal, nor necessary, for the current archive PDBx/mmCIF format and has led to limited use of these files in community software tools. In response to this issue and recommendations by the wwPDB advisory committee, we are implementing updated, standardized practices for generation of assembly files for all PDB entries. These updated PDBx/mmCIF format assembly files have improved organization of assembly data to support usage by the community. These files will include all symmetry generated copies of each chain within a single model, with distinct chain IDs (_atom_site.auth_asym_id and _atom_site.label_asym_id) assigned to each. Generation of distinct chain IDs in assembly files are based upon the following rules: Chain IDs of the original chains from the atomic coordinate file will be retained (e.g., A) Assign unique chain ID (atom_site.label_asym_id and atom_site.auth_asym_id) for each symmetry copy within a single model. Rules of chain ID assignments: The applied index of the symmetry operator (pdbx_struct_oper_list.id) will be appended to the original chain ID separated by a dash (e.g., A-2, A-3, etc.) If there are more than one type of symmetry operators applied to generate symmetry copy, a dash sign will be used between two operators (e.g., A-12-60, A-60-88, etc.) In addition, entity ID and chain ID mapping categories are provided: _pdbx_entity_remapping and _pdbx_chain_remapping. A new directory (https://ftp.wwpdb.org/pub/pdb/data/assemblies/mmCIF/) was created for the distribution of these updated assembly files. The directory containing the existing assembly mmCIF files for large entries has been removed (ftp.wwpdb.org/pub/pdb/data/biounit/mmCIF/'>ftp.wwpdb.org/pub/pdb/data/biounit/mmCIF/). wwPDB asks all PDB users and software developers to review code and address any limitations related to PDB assemblies. Sample files were made available for testing purposes and to support community adoption at GitHub.com/wwpdb/assembly-mmcif-examples <https://github.com/wwpdb/assembly-mmcif-examples>. If you plan to use these assembly files for graphical viewing, check if your visualization software (e.g., PyMol, ChimeraX, etc.) supports instantiation of assemblies directly from atomic coordinate files (_struct_assembly related categories), for improved efficiency.
