Re: [ccp4bb] SMILES from PDB records (HELP-21524)
Dear Doeke, Here is the process we recommend: For now you can get the entire collection of ligand definitions at http://www.wwpdb.org/data/ccd, using the file https://files.wwpdb.org/pub/pdb/data/monomers/components.cif.gz From there you would parse the SMILES from _pdbx_chem_comp_descriptor. You can also use RCSB.org data API as described at https://data.rcsb.org/#gql-example-7 Select "OPEN IN EDITOR" and add a chemical descriptor component search as follows: { chem_comps(comp_ids:["NAG", "EBW"]) { rcsb_id chem_comp { type formula_weight name formula } pdbx_chem_comp_descriptor { type descriptor } rcsb_chem_comp_info { initial_release_date } } } Then, you can get all IDs either using a "grep data_" command from the file downloaded above, or by using the RCSB Advanced Search >> Chemical Attributes >> Chemical IDs(s)>> "is not empty" <https://www.rcsb.org/search?request=%7B%22query%22%3A%7B%22type%22%3A%22group%22%2C%22logical_operator%22%3A%22and%22%2C%22nodes%22%3A%5B%7B%22type%22%3A%22group%22%2C%22logical_operator%22%3A%22and%22%2C%22nodes%22%3A%5B%7B%22type%22%3A%22group%22%2C%22nodes%22%3A%5B%7B%22type%22%3A%22terminal%22%2C%22service%22%3A%22text_chem%22%2C%22parameters%22%3A%7B%22attribute%22%3A%22rcsb_chem_comp_container_identifiers.comp_id%22%2C%22operator%22%3A%22exists%22%2C%22negation%22%3Afalse%7D%7D%5D%2C%22logical_operator%22%3A%22and%22%7D%5D%2C%22label%22%3A%22text_chem%22%7D%5D%7D%2C%22return_type%22%3A%22entry%22%2C%22request_options%22%3A%7B%22paginate%22%3A%7B%22start%22%3A0%2C%22rows%22%3A25%7D%2C%22results_content_type%22%3A%5B%22experimental%22%5D%2C%22sort%22%3A%5B%7B%22sort_by%22%3A%22score%22%2C%22direction%22%3A%22desc%22%7D%5D%2C%22scoring_strategy%22%3A%22combined%22%7D%2C%22request_info%22%3A%7B%22query_id%22%3A%22757e2e66d52ec03ec085a0c4cc2ba0ba%22%7D%7D> .

Re: [ccp4bb] search for similar complex structures (help-20620)
Dear Norbert, The structure search functionality at RCSB.org should help find AB complexes similar to yours: 1. Go to https://www.rcsb.org/search/advanced 2. In the "Structure Similarity" section, select "File upload" (using the pull-down menu that has "Entry ID" as the default) 3. Upload the coordinate file for your complex 4. Select "Search for" = "Assemblies" This should give you any assemblies in the PDB that have a globally similar shape to your AB complex. It will not give you locally similar matches (e.g. only one chain is similar or only a subdomain of each chain is similar) nor super assemblies (e.g. ABC where only AB is similar).

Depositing a new X-ray crystal structure to the PDB archive?Try the new and improved wwPDB Deposition system at http://deposit.wwpdb.org/deposition/. Since the new system went live on January 27^th , 2014, ~700 structures have been deposited and promptly annotated.Detailed information on the system can be found at http://www.wwpdb.org/system_info.html.The new system was developed to allow the wwPDB partners to meet the evolving needs of the scientific community over the next decade, including support for very large systems, complex chemistry, and joint use of multiple experimental methods. The system replaces all current deposition and annotation systems in use at the wwPDB deposition centers, and will lead to improved efficiency and consistency. New or enhanced features of the deposition system include the generation of X-ray validation reports (following the recommendations of the wwPDB X-ray Validation Task Force), improved capture and review of ligand information, the ability to replace coordinate and/or experimental data files pre- and post-submission, improved communication process between depositors and wwPDB curators, and the ability to preview and download the PDBx/mmCIF entry file prior to submission. Depositors will have the option to use the new system or one of the legacy deposition tools (ADIT, AutoDep) for most of 2014. After the transition to the new system, the legacy tools will be available for a limited period of time to complete any unfinished deposition sessions. The wwPDB continues to improve the deposition interface and supporting functionality as it receives more submissions and input.Questions, comments, and suggestions should be sent to: http://deposit-feedback.wwpdb.org_._ -- Rachel Kramer Green, Ph.D. RCSB PDB kra...@rcsb.rutgers.edu *New!*Deposit X-ray data with the wwPDB at: http://deposit.wwpdb.org/deposition (NMR and 3DEM coming soon). ___ Twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/buildmodels Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/RCSBPDB
Re: [ccp4bb] Comparison of Water Positions across PDBs
In PDB format files, each polymer is assigned a unique chain ID. Chain IDs for all bound moieties and waters are assigned based on their proximity (number of contacts) to the nearest polymer. Once the polymers and non-polymer residues associated with them are assigned chain IDs, they are also assigned unique residue numbering with the order polymer residues, ligands and then waters. Please see: http://www.wwpdb.org/procedure.html#toc_4 The wwPDB has established this rule to improve the usability and interpretation of the structural data. Assigning the same chain ID for all moieties associated with a polymer enables rapid and uniform identification of feature analysis.

This renumbering started when waters were assigned to macromolecular chains rather than getting a chain id of their own. I have failed to find the rationale explained in any PDB documents - but it could be motivated by this sort of consideration when waters from different chains or entries are to be compared. Having said that I do not know if there are any cases where this approach has successfully matched waters. .. However an associated step which is certainly a help is that, in the case of multiple chains, the crystal symmetry is applied to replace waters with their symmetry equivalent position if it is closer to a different chain. I believe a freely available program implementing a similar approach is WATERTIDY in CCP4 which might be a good place to start. It gives a pretty complete output, detailing residues actually H-bonded to the waters, and you could parse that for further analysis and comparisons. Best wishes.

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.

Re: [ccp4bb] TLS and ANISOU/RESIDUAL B-FACTORS - doubt
Dear Catarina, When TLS is involved in refinement using a script, the keyword "tlsout addu" should be added to produce a coordinate file containing the full B factor. The latest REFMAC interface (in CCP4i) has a button "Add TLS contribution to XYZOUT" in the folder of TLS Parameters which will add this keyword. There are three ways to convert file so it contains full B factors: 1. You can convert your PDB file so it contains full B factors using the server at http://deposit.rcsb.org/adit/REFMAC.html 2. Convert locally using the script at http://deposit-beta.rcsb.org/tlsanl/tlsanl_script.csh Run tlsanl_script.csh pdbfile (note: CCP4 should be installed on your local machine prior to running the script) 3. Convert using CCP4i package * Find the file of TLS parameters TLSOUT that corresponds to the coordinate file, or if necessary extract the TLS parameters from the PDB file using the CCP4 program tlsextract * Use CCP4's tlsanl to put the full B factor in the PDB coordinate file, available in the GUI interface as the task "Analyse TLS parameters". Be sure to set the keyword BRESID T in this interface. Please let us know if we can be of any further help.
