Dear CCP4BB Colleagues, Please see the forwarded announcement below regarding the remediation of the wwPDB archive. A summary of the project scope can be found at http:// remediation.wwpdb.org best wishes, Cathy Lawson Begin forwarded message: > From: Cathy Lawson <[log in to unmask]> > Date: May 3, 2007 12:21:01 PM EDT > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: wwPDB Announcement: Release of Remediated PDB Data > Reply-To: [log in to unmask] > > > > ***wwPDB Announcement: Release of Remediated PDB Data*** > > > The wwPDB has collaborated on a project to remediate the PDB > archive and create a new set of corrected files. > > The entire archive has been reviewed and remediated with the > objectives of improving the detailed chemical description of non- > polymer and monomer chemical components; standardizing atom > nomenclature; updating sequence database references and taxonomies; > resolving any remaining differences between chemical and > macromolecular sequences; improving the representation of viruses; > and verifying primary citation assignments. In addition, the atom > nomenclature for amino acids and nucleotides now conforms with > IUPAC standards. > > A new FTP server containing the remediated data has been set up for > testing. The access details for this site are provided at http:// > www.wwpdb.org/remediation-downloads.html. The new ftp site will be > updated weekly in concert with the current production site at ftp:// > ftp.rcsb.org. Both sites share the same directory structure. > Starting May 1, the remediated data will be served using gzip > compression. > > Your input is very important to us. PDB users are encouraged to > test the remediated data files between now and July 2007. The > details of the final transition will be announced on the wwPDB > website (http://www.wwpdb.org). > > Detailed information about the wwPDB remediation project can be > found at http://remediation.wwpdb.org. > > Comments about the files should be sent to [log in to unmask] Major > announcements will be made at the wwPDB website (http:// > www.wwpdb.org) as well as on the individual member websites. > > > >
