Dear Robbie,

We will continue the practice that any structure deposited as a single 
PDBx/mmCIF file will be
divided into SPLIT files and added to the ftp archive as usual, in all 
supported formats (PDB,

PDBx/mmCIF, PDBML/XML).

Entries are split only for reasons of size.  SPLIT entries currently in 
the archive will remain as
they are until sometime in 2014 when we plan to consolidate all existing 
and new SPLIT entries into

single large files.

Regards,
Rachel

Dear colleagues,

I would like to draw your attention to a notification from the wwPDB 
partners
about Deposition and Release of PDB Entries Containing Large 
Structures -

see:

http://www.wwpdb.org/news/news_2013.html#22-May-2013

There are major changes afoot in the way large structures are handled 
in the
PDB, as well as in the deposition and annotation procedures and 
software used
by the wwPDB sites. This is of immediate relevance for depositors and 
users of
large structures, but also for software developers and anyone who 
routinely

processes the entire PDB archive or its weekly releases (bioinformatics
resources, etc.). From 2014, it will affect essentially everyone who 
deposits,

uses or processes PDB entries.

If you have any questions about the new deposition system or the 
procedures
for handling large structures or any of the other changes, please 
contact:

i...@wwpdb.org

Please pass on this information to anyone likely to be affected by the
upcoming changes. Thanks!

Hi Rachel,

Thanks for clarifying this. Things will be much easier when SPLIT entries are 
consolidated. That is, when all the software is updated as well.

 Entries are split only for reasons of size.  
1apg was, sort of, an example of the contrary (see the, now obsolete, 
reflection file).  I thought there were more examples, but fortunately I 
couldn't find any quickly.

Cheers,
Robbie
