I agree that it would be really nice if ECI was given a bit of maintenance. However, If you're depositing via autodep at pdbe, they accept the whole project rather than the STAR and then do a pretty good job of sorting out any problems for you. It's worth noting that even BMRB seem to reset the Auth_seq_ID unless you request that they set it as you specify.

Subject: ECI interface: NMR-STAR export failure
Hi,
I tried to export NMR-STAR files via the ECI interface and failed miserably so far. In my project, there are four different molecular systems, with shift lists and chains neatly organized and properly attributed to their appropriate ECI deposition entries. The problem: the "Export as NMR-STAR 3.1" function only exports one of the four deposition entries, not the current one. Seems like a bug to me.
Reproducible in CcpNmr Analysis 2.4.1 in the following way:
* Have a project with more than one molecular systems, with
different molecular chains / sequences, shift lists in it,
* got o "Structure" > "ECI: Database Deposition",
* press "Add New Deposition Entry" (green button bottom-left corner),
* organize your different molecular systems / shift lists in
different "Deposition Entries",
* press "Export as "NMR-STAR 3.1" for each "Deposition Entry",
* look into the .str files and find that ECI exported the same
file with the same contents, regardless of the selected "Deposition Entry".
For me, it exported the third entry over and over. I can't tell if this is
the first entry I entered, it seems like ECI sorts them alphabetically.
I'd like to know if there is any way to circumvent the interface and have another way to export the deposition entries.
I also noticed that ECI ignores custom sequence numbering; e.g. if your sequence starts at -10 (what you would enter in Molecules > Start Seq Number). There is actually a identifier for that in the STAR file: _Entity_comp_index.Auth_seq_ID. I would be nice if the exporter would take that into account.
Cheers,
Martin
