Hi Pavel,

Similar results in PDB-REDO https://pdb-redo.eu/db/5xql, nothing wrong but 
clear room for improvement. That said, I would hope that the epositors set the 
record straight on the data completeness or conjur up the missing reflection 
data.

Cheers,
Robbie

Onderwerp: Re: [ccp4bb] Questionable Data collection and refinement statistics 
for 5XQL

I agree with Dominika, I can't see major problems with this entry (I also did 
some quick refinement and briefly looked at maps). Reported R factors match 
re-calculated values using data from PDB, which is good.

Smaller issues I see are:
- no solvent (water) in the model, while density suggests some;
- maps don't look like 2.5A resolution, which is perfectly expectable given 
data completeness (overall 81%):

  Resolution    Compl
35.051-13.721   89.38
13.660-11.061   95.19
11.024-8.858    98.41
 8.848-7.119   100.00
 7.115-5.723   100.00
 5.714-4.596   100.00
 4.595-3.692   100.00
 3.692-2.967    95.92
 2.966-2.494    56.98

and effective resolution along axes a,b,c:  2.453  2.453  3.167 A.

- model contains 4% of rotamer outliers, some of them can be trivially fixed.
- Xtriage shows three yellow "traffic lights".

I'm sure many PDB entries (especially older ones) would have something that you 
could do better or fix using modern tools.

Dear C-Daddy,

Did you look at the maps? Do you see any astonishing misinterpretations there?
Do you think that the completeness in the last resolution shell would affect 
the maps and the model? If so, why?

There are many possible reasons for the discrepancy you pointed out. In I422 
a=b, alpha=90.00, so typos in the table are the most probable reason. I did 
look at the maps after running a quick refinement. Both the structure and the 
ligand are fine. I would probably add solvent molecules myself, but some 
conservative crystallographers prefer not to do it, even at 2.5 A.

In other words, there is nothing wrong with this deposit. I would even say that 
the level of sloppiness is below the average for this one.

Dear colleagues,

I am really astonished by a recently released structure 5XQL. This
structure was just published in BBRC with a super fast process
(accepted overnight). Significant inconsistences were observed when I
compared the Data collection and refinement statistics in the paper
and at PDB website. The paper shows the crystal belong to  I 4 2 2
with  a=135.77, b=136.11, c=95.13 (Å) ; α=90.01. The resolution is
2.5Å with  completeness of 99.7 (99.1). However when I checked the
released structure I got  a= b=135.94, c=95.13 (Å) ; α=90.0. The
resolution is 2.5Å with  completeness of 81.5 (44.0). The
completeness of the highest resolution shell is so low that 2.5Å
seems unreasonable. At first I thought that the authors could be
rookies in structural biology. But the molecular replacement in this
paper could be very difficult due to very low sequence identity
between the search model and the final structure. It was unlikely that
two new hands could solve it easily. Is there anyone who has this kind
of experience and know why?

With best wishes,
Richard
