dear all,
Which is the convention??? Is it posted anywhere?
Could the refinement programs or a small supporting program automatically
renumber the PDB according to the data bank policy?
Maria
the guys at EBI always renumber the solvent molecules, ions and/or
ligands following a so-called uniformatory convention during
coordinate deposition.
i'm sure kim will respond and explain how this is done for a good reason
Would it be possible to make a lobby and get the PDB NOT TO CHANGE
anything we don?t want to have changed in the structures that are
supposed to be
alternatively - we could all follow the convention from the start
This is as if I went to the bank to deposit some money in what's
theore- tically my account and that it was actually the clerk that
told me how much I have to deposit !
since you need to deposit in order to publish (not to mention the fact
that most structures are paid for by tax-payers' money) i would argue
that the simile is wrong. it is more like going to the *tax office*.
and, yes, the tax man does tend to tell you how much you have to
deposit ... [of course, if you live in Natureland, Scienceland or
Cellland, you may get away with tax evasion ...]
