Dear all,
Many structural biologists deposit multiple related entries: mutants,
ligand-bound forms, re-refinements, or follow-up EM maps from the same
project. Re-entering authors, citations, funding, macromolecules
information and experimental details for each new deposition is
repetitive and error-prone.
The wwPDB OneDep deposition system has long offered a*“Based on a
previous wwPDB deposition”*option on the*File upload*page. This feature
has been*substantially refactored and improved*to make metadata reuse
faster, more selective, and more reliable across X-ray, NMR, and EM
depositions.
In order to use this feature, depositors need to provide the*previous
deposition ID*(with its password, or by using ORCID authentication),
choose which*metadata categories*to copy, and upload new files as usual.
Selected mmCIF metadata is merged into the new entry before annotation.
The upload*Summary*page then shows what was imported, skipped, or
blocked. The previous entry must be deposited at the same wwPDB site as
the current entry.
Key improvements include:
* ORCID search: authenticated users can search their own past
depositions and don’t need to re-enter the password
* Re-upload support: the feature can be used during re-upload
* Selective import: depositors choose specific categories (authors,
citation, funding, keywords, macromolecules (new option),
method-specific experimental information)
* Macromolecule checks: entity metadata is copied only when polymer
chains align between structures
* Method-aware safeguards: X-ray, NMR, and EM options appear only when
both depositions are compatible; EM reconstruction sub-method must
also match for EM experimental information
* Authoritative mmCIF source: metadata is copied from the related
entry’s annotated mmCIF record
The feature is available on the File upload page atdeposit.wwpdb.org
<https://deposit.wwpdb.org/>.
Further guidance is in thewwPDB deposition FAQ

Kind regards,
Deborah Harrus, on behalf of the wwPDB
