Title: Validation of Structures in the Protein Data Bank

Abstract

The Worldwide PDB recently launched a deposition, biocuration, and validation tool: OneDep. At various stages of OneDep data processing, validation reports for three-dimensional structures of biological macromolecules are produced. These reports are based on recommendations of expert task forces representing crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance, and cryoelectron microscopy communities. The reports provide useful metrics with which depositors can evaluate the quality of the experimental data, the structural model, and the fit between them. The validation module is also available as a stand-alone web server and as a programmatically accessible web service. A growing number of journals require the official wwPDB validation reports (produced at biocuration) to accompany manuscripts describing macromolecular structures. Upon public release of the structure, the validation report becomes part of the public PDB archive. Geometric quality scores for proteins in the PDB archive have improved over the past decade.

Figure 1 Figure 1: Summary Quality Metrics in the wwPDB Validation Reports. Sliders (top) and residue plots (bottom). (A) relatively good structure; (B) relatively poor structure. The solid sliders report on how a given structure ranks relative to all structures in the PDB. The open sliders report on the comparison with structuresmore » derived in a similar fashion (X-ray crystallographic structures are compared with other X-ray structures solved at a similar resolution, while NMR and EM structures are ranked relative to other NMR and EM structures in the PDB, respectively). Residue sequence plots flag residues that have unusual geometry features (i.e., bond length, bond angle, Ramachandran, RNA suiteness, or other torsion-angle outliers). Residues are color coded as follows: green, no geometric outliers; yellow, 1 type of outliers; orange 2 types of outliers; red, 3 or more types of outliers; gray, atomic coordinates not available; cyan, atomic coordinates are ill-defined by the NMR ensemble. For X-ray crystal structures, a red dot above a residue indicates a poor fit to electron density (RSRZ > 2).« less
