Decision to come together as the wwPDB in developing the tools that will support the shared functions of the wwPDB for the next 10 years
November 6, 2009
wwPDB Common D&A Tool ProjectThe goal is to implement a set of common deposition and annotation processes and tools that will enable the wwPDB to deliver a resource of increasingly high quality and dependability over the next 10 years.
The tools will address: the increase in complexity and experimental variety of submissions and the increase in deposition throughput
The processes and tools will maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of data handling and support for the scientific community
November 6, 2009
Project Scope Common deposition interface and processing
– Coordinates (x,y,z) regardless of experiment origin (X-ray, NMR, EM)– NMR restraints, chemical shifts– X-ray structure factors– 3D-EM maps
Data processing: Validation Tools– Fit of model to data– Coordinates for polymers and ligands– NMR Restraints– Structure factor validation– EM map validation
Partly developed by External Task Forces
To be integrated over time
November 6, 2009
Assumptions & Constraints
Functional requirements– Deposition tool must handle all current, agreed upon data entry and
report formats from the user community– All data elements covered within the PDB annotation manual must
be included
Technical requirement– Design will enable flexibility for growth and evolution– Technical level reasonable standard, not bleeding edge or declining– Design must enable integration with community data capture
November 6, 2009
For example Deposition will capture all currently deposited
experimental data for each method The tool will support all data formats and validation
requirements for all deposition types The system will allow for workload balancing during
deposition

Remediated NMR restraints project is near NMR Validation Task Force established
– First meeting held Sept 21, 2009, in Paris, France
Implementation plan for Chemical Shifts requirement in progress
Status of SMSDep
November 6, 2009
NMR Validation Task Force: Charge Advise on validation of new NMR data depositions Provide a report for the wwPDB AC Provide recommendations for structure validation criteria and
tools– Tools and procedures recommended should be freely
available and simple to install and maintain so users can easily use in own laboratories
– Tools should not be used as a basis to “reject” structures, but to flag potential problems for the depositor/user to be aware of
– Recommendations should be assembled into a “white paper” for publication
– Recommendations should be targeted to software developers, depositors, journal editors, and PDB users

NMR VTF: Outcome of first meetingSeptember 21, 2009; Paris, France General consensus on the value of expanded NMR validation
for the scientific community. Consensus on coordination with X-ray VTF on common
validation issues. Requirements and available tools for validation were assessed
during the meeting. Areas targeted for further research: format consistency for
restraints, treatment of internal dynamics and ensemble averaging.
Website and mail archive created to support task force communication

Chemical Shifts: Progress in implementation
BMRB has been the primary deposition and processing site for NMR chemical shift (CS) data
Mandatory chemical shift and reference data items have been defined, and a prototype mandatory CS system is in place
wwPDB to perform minimal processing:– check format and sanity check at deposition– substitute explicit atoms for pseudo-atoms – maintain nomenclature correspondence during annotation
Data files are to be transferred to BMRB for further annotation PDB will release chemical shift files in NMR-STAR format along with
coordinate data files Download statistics for chemical shift data files will be be maintained
for BMRB (needed for grant reporting)
November 6, 2009
SMSDep
Deposition system is in place and accepting structures and associated NMR chemical shifts
Current policy is to accept data only for small peptides or nucleic acids (processing and annotation is carried out at PDBj-BMRB)
We need to monitor the level of activity to determine whether this site should be maintained

SAXS/SANS
November 6, 2009
SAXS/SANS
Increase of SAS publications for structural biology– Higher intensity sources– Advances in data analysis
and modeling tools
Increase in number of deposition requests since 2005
Number of hits from simple search of publications by using protein structure and small angle scattering
November 6, 2009
SAXS/SANS: Current Status
Two types of models– Atomic model with a directed sequence
– Dummy residue model
41 structures have been deposited since 1998– 7 Model 1
– 2 Model 2 (withdrawn)
– 32 are between Model 1 and 2 (chain of C)
Model 1
Model 2
November 6, 2009
wwPDB proposed requirements for a SAXS/SANS PDB entry
Model is derived and fully defined by the experimental data Model is a folded chain of residues with directionality COMPND, SOURCE, SEQRES and external sequence reference
(DBREF) are included x,y,z coordinates per atom. Cα or P model allowed Has acceptable geometry (bond-length, bond-angle, torsion-angle, non-
bonded contacts, etc.) Experimental and refinement details recorded in appropriate REMARK
records Parameters directly derived from the scattering profile should be supplied
and appropriately recorded (radius of gyration, Dmax in distance distribution function, mass, etc.)
Reduced 1D experimental profile Family of models should be superimposed
November 6, 2009
SAXS/SANS: Next Steps
Create a SAXS/SANS Task Force to advise the wwPDB– Which if any SAXS/SANS models should be in
PDB?– Template for PDB file – Validation standards

Obsolete Entries Appears in entries that have been removed from main
distribution into ftp://ftp.wwpdb.org/pub/pdb/data/structures/obsolete/
It is PDB policy that only the principal investigator and/or the primary author who submitted an entry has the authority to obsolete it
OBSLTE indicates which, if any, new entries have replaced the entry that was obsoleted (SPRSDE)
Explanation for obsolete entries without replacement entry should be included in files
November 6, 2009
Fabricated Structures
Problem: A PDB entry is found to be fabricated
Proposed Action: If the author does not agree to OBSLTE the entry, the employer of the author may request that PDB entry be made OBSLTE. This request must be appropriately documented. The citation for the obsolete entry must be a published explanation of the circumstances that led to retraction of the paper(s) and associated PDB entry or entries.
