Dear Jasmine,
But can we now upload two mtz/mmcif files now for the structure factors?
as in, the one from the processing software containing the raw data, as
well as the one with the weighted amplitudes and the phases from
Refinement software? Or do we still have to use CAD to create a single
mtz file and then convert it to mmcif for depostion? Or is there another
better way to do it?
Many thanks for your help,
Dom

Dear all,
Extensions to the PDBx/mmCIF dictionary for reflection data with
anisotropic diffraction limits, for unmerged reflection data, and for
quality metrics of anomalous diffraction data are now supported in OneDep.
In October 2020, a subgroup of the wwPDB PDBx/mmCIF Working Group
<https://www.wwpdb.org/task/mmcif> was convened to develop a richer
description of experimental data and associated data quality metrics.
Members of this Data Collection and Processing Subgroup are all
actively engaged in development and support of diffraction data
processing software. The Subgroup met virtually for several months
discussing, reviewing, and finalizing a new set dictionary content
extension that were incorporated into the PDBx/mmCIF dictionary
<https://mmcif.wwpdb.org/dictionaries/mmcif_pdbx_v50.dic/Index/> on
February 16, 2021. A reference implementation of the new content
extensions has been developed by Global Phasing Ltd.
<https://www.globalphasing.com/>
These extensions facilitate the deposition and archiving of a broader
range of diffraction data, as well as new quality metrics pertaining
to these data. These extensions cover three main areas:
1. scaled and merged reflection data that have been processed to take
account of diffraction anisotropy, by providing descriptors for
that anisotropy, in terms of (1) a parameter-free definition of a
cut-off surface by means of a per-reflection “signal” and a
threshold value for that signal, and (2) the ellipsoid providing
the best fit to the resulting cut-off surface;
2. scaled and unmerged reflection data, by providing extra item
definitions aimed at ensuring that such data can be meaningfully
re-analysed, and their quality assessed independently from the
associated model, after retrieval from the archive;
3. anomalous diffraction data, by adding descriptors for numerous
relevant, but previously missing, statistics.
The new mmCIF data extensions describing anisotropic diffraction now
enable archiving of the results of Global Phasing’s STARANISO program.
Developers of other software can make use of them or extend the
present definitions to suit their applications. Example files created
by autoPROC, BUSTER (version 20210224
<https://www.globalphasing.com/buster/wiki/index.cgi?DepositionMmCif>)
and Gemmi that are compliant with the new dictionary extensions are
provided in a GitHub repository
<https://github.com/pdbxmmcifwg/onedep-extended-sf-support-examples.git>.
These example files, and similarly compliant files produced by other
data processing and/or refinement programs, are suitable for direct
uploading to the wwPDB OneDep system. Automatic recognition of that
compliance, implemented by means of explicit dictionary versioning
using the new pdbx_audit_conform record, will avoid unnecessary
pre-processing at the time of deposition. This improved OneDep support
will ensure a lossless round trip between data processing/refinement
in the lab and deposition at the PDB.
wwPDB strongly encourages structural biologists to always use the
latest versions of structure determination software packages to
produce data files for PDB deposition. wwPDB also encourages
crystallographers wishing to deposit new structures together with
their associated diffraction data to use the software which guarantees
consistency between data and final model. This consistency is
difficult to achieve when separate diffraction data files and model
coordinate files are pieced together /a posterior/i by /ad hoc/ means.
wwPDB also encourages depositors to make their raw diffraction images
available from one of the public repositories
<https://www.wwpdb.org/deposition/faq#start> to allow direct access to
the original diffraction image data.
