Thank you everybody for your inputs.  Already four suggested the QC server.   

I think at this point we have enough ideas.

 

Once again, thanks for your attention.

Try JCSG QC server:

http://smb.slac.stanford.edu/jcsg/QC/

 

All our structures go through this server before submitted to the PDB and we rarely get any issues back from PDB.

 

Thanks,

Abhinav

Yes, the intention at the PDB sites is to make available a standalone validation server that will run exactly the same validation tests that have been introduced for recent depositions.  My understanding is that this server is currently being tested and will be rolled out to the community sometime in the new year once they're confident that it is stable.  

 

The motivation is exactly as you say: to save time for both the depositors and the annotators, and to improve the quality of the deposited structures!

 

Best wishes,

 

Randy Read

I was wondering if there is a way to generate a PDB validation report before depositing the coordinates so that one can go back and make necessary corrections to the file before deposition.  It will save a lot time and perhaps would improve the quality of deposited structures.
