[ccp4bb] How to include in refinement high resolution shells with VERY low completeness ?

2019-08-01 Thread Ivan Shabalin
Dear CCP4BB, There seems to be a general consensus for extending data to higher resolution to include as much meaningful data as possible. "Meaningful" can be defined in different ways. I heard/read opinions such as 0.5 CC1/2, 0.3 CC1/2, 0.15 CC1/2, and stepped (paired) refinement. The

Interesting topic, Certainly the two papers suggested by Georg are relevant, and I fully agree with the comments from Daniel that it is hard to predict the behaviour of any given protein from a statistical analysis of proteins in general. I find it interesting that even with the use of

Sergei, That depends heavily on the protein, so I don't know if a statistical study will accurately reflect the importance of temperature. With some proteins, no matter how thoroughly you sample chemical space, temperature is critical, and a study would have to focus on such a protein. The data

Ernst, Depositing images is very easy these days with services like SbGrid, proteindiffraction.org (also known as IRRMC), and Zenodo. For example, for depositing images to proteindiffraction.org (which is run by Wladek Minor) you just need to create an account, tar your images, upload them

Clemens, I have not looked at the structure, but the issues you described are alarming. It is a little sad because the paper itself seems very comprehensive and rigorous. It is great to hear so many voices advocating for depositing raw images. I hope more researchers will be convinced to do

Hi Clemens, thank you for looking into this! To me, a "structure" that has a few sequence shifts does not appear useful at all - rather, it taints the PDB. This one should be blacklisted, like 6MO[0,1,2]. It's painful to learn that despite all the validation that is performed before and at

Hi Sergei We did some data-mining on this way, way back, in 2004. See the second section in this link https://www.douglas.co.uk/PDB_data.htm When you consider the *non-standard *temps - ie NOT 4C or 20C - it *looks* as though the higher-end temps *may *work better. But of course it's hard to

Dear CCP4BB, The wwPDB are pleased to announce the availability of PDB versioning, allowing depositors to update their entries while retaining the same PDB accession code. Depositors can now submit new coordinates for existing entries. Initially, this is limited to PDB entries that were

Dear Ernst, There are several ways to deposit raw data, such as IRRMC, SBGrid and Zenodo. The data are findable through a doi. During the depostion in the PDB the doi linking to the raw data can be provided. See e.g. http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe/entry/pdb/5cy2 where is link to the raw data in

Dear Ernst, depositing raw data would add about 100 Bytes of storage per structure to the RCSB, about the length of a DOI. This is because there are existing repositories for data storage: data.sbgrid.org (only data related to an already published manuscript), zenodo.org, and a few more. They

I totally agree with the deposition of raw data along with the coordinate set(s). It is the only way to independently validate a model that has been generated by somewhat subjective procedures of data reduction and scaling, structure solution and refinement. More importantly, algorithms and
