PDBx/mmCIF data files to include PI information
wwPDB continues to support research, education, and drug discovery
worldwide. Open access to PDB data has helped researchers in
structure-guided discovery and development of anti-coronavirus drugs,
vaccines and neutralizing antibodies. When researchers analyze existing
PDB structures, such as working on a similar structure, they may often
need additional information impossible to retrieve from the PDB entry
file alone. In particular, it is not possible to obtain a point of
contact in cases where there is no associated primary publication for an
entry.
Following a recommendation from the IUCr Commission on Biological
Macromolecules and the IUCr Committee on Data
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__journals.iucr.org_a_issues_2020_06_00_es5023_index.html-23SEC4.4&d=DwICaQ&c=-35OiAkTchMrZOngvJPOeA&r=L7-zyQ-04fFCMRqzLIOnx7H0exGZHwIQe_wMPuY600I&m=38yGvt778Snr6g9zNCixsqRTVpyyDlX5DPE4lk7rDJU&s=N2VFoI8IEa7EPpmHjYByskojkpEcOfMPykKMeU8R07M&e= >,
wwPDB will make public the PI name, email address, and ORCiD ID for
initial PDB depositions or re-submissions made, starting September 24,
2021. This will enable contact with the authors of every released PDB
structure as of that date. This release will also align the PDB with the
standard practices of providing corresponding author information by
scientific journals
The dated acceptance of these PDB Terms and Conditions described above
will be captured within the OneDep system. The responsible depositor who
creates the deposition should make entry PI(s) aware of the policy
change to include PI name, email address, and ORCiD in public PDBx/mmCIF
files.
