[3dem] wwPDB Deposition & Annotation System Now Available for 3DEM Structures

[Cathy Lawson]

The wwPDB partners and the EMDataBank project are pleased to announce the launch of a new Deposition & Annotation system that supports structures determined using 3DEM, NMR, and X-ray, neutron and electron crystallography. New entries can be submitted at http://deposit-next.wwpdb.org/deposition/. 

This new system interoperates with EMDB and BMRB to enable joint depositions of both atomic coordinates (PDB) and EM electron-density maps (EMDB) or NMR experimental data (BMRB). PDB, EMDB and BMRB accession codes will be issued as appropriate immediately after a structure has been deposited. 

A brief tutorial is available at http://www.wwpdb.org/deposition/tutorial.

New or enhanced features of the global combined X-ray/3DEM/NMR wwPDB Deposition & Annotation system include generation and review of validation reports that follow wwPDB Task Force recommendations,1,2,3 improved capture and review of ligand information, replacement of atomic coordinate and/or experimental data files both pre- and post-submission, and improved communication between depositors and wwPDB curators.

In addition to the new system, depositors will continue to have the option of using legacy deposition tools (EMDep, ADIT, AutoDep) to start a new deposition for at least the first half of 2016.  The legacy deposition tools will be phased out with sufficient time allowed for completion of in-progress sessions.
