From today, July 1^st 2019, submission of PDBx/mmCIF format files for crystallographic depositions to the PDB is mandatory.

Refmac, Phenix.refine, and Buster programs can now output PDBx/mmCIF formatted files. For users of other structure determination/refinement software packages, the wwPDB provides stand-alone and web-based tools to convert legacy PDB format files into PDBx/mmCIF format: pdb_extract and MAXIT. More information on outputting and preparing PDBx/mmCIF format files for deposition can be found on the wwPDB website.

For more information, view the full news release at the wwPDB website or contact the wwPDB on [log in to unmask].
