One small step for a crystallographer, one giant leap for mankind! (*)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For those of you who didn't see it, the following was posted to the PDB
mailing list last week:
Announcement: Experimental Data Will Be Required for Depositions Starting
February 1, 2008
Effective February 1, 2008, structure factor amplitudes/intensities (for
crystal structures) and restraints (for NMR structures) will be a mandatory
requirement for PDB deposition.

Not a decade too soon, either.

(*) See the update at the bottom of this page:
http://www.snopes.com/quotes/onesmall.asp for a fine (non-crystallographic)
example of an attempt at "interpreting ambiguous data to match a predetermined
conclusion".
