PDB entry processing
1-1-2000
10,997 entries in PDB
Today 10-Jul-2007
44,578 entries in PDB
Size now is 4 times larger than when the 3 sites started
In 1999, 2361 entries were deposited
In 2006, 7282 entries were deposited
We handle more than 3 times as many entries per year with
less staff – and all wwPDB sites produce high quality
annotated PDB entries
No current backlog of unprocessed entries

Recommendations from 2006
wwPDBAC report
Implement the recommendations from November 1920 2005 modeling workshop (Berman et al. Structure
14, 1211-1217)
– Models phased out October 16, 2006
Rollout remediated data to superusers by December
31, 2006; to all users by July 1st 2007; Provide
access to PDB formatted files following the most
current format.
– Superusers had access to data November 2006, all users in April
2007

Recommendations from 2006
wwPDBAC report
Work with SAXS community to create appropriate
representation of these data, and circulate progress
reports to the Committee as appropriate
– Not done
Expand the four character PDB ID codes before the
number of depositions reaches 400,000
– Number of available PDB ID codes has been increased by allowing
IDs to start with a character
Develop and present a formal recommendation to the
wwPDBAC regarding the purview of the PDB at our
September 2007 meeting in Princeton, NJ
– In process
Worldwide Protein Data Bank
www.wwpdb.org
Recommendations from 2006
wwPDBAC report
Coordinate with the wwPDBAC to obtain formal
letters of support when seeking funding; establish a
coordinated plan to both educate and lobby funding
agency representatives; establish a charitable
organization to serve as a conduit for receipt of both
grant funding and gifts from pharmaceutical and
biotechnology companies, involving individual
Committee members as needed.

IUPAC, NMR, and the PDB
Atom nomenclature and
NMR restraints
John L. Markley
Worldwide Protein Data Bank
www.wwpdb.org
History of the NMR-led requested remediation
of hydrogen atom nomenclature
When BMRB was established in the late 1980’s, it adopted the IUPAC
atom nomenclature recommendations from Biochemistry 9, 3471-3479,
1970
At that time, we noted that NMR structures being deposited in the PDB
did not adhere to these recommendations (particularly for H-atoms; e.g.
HB1/HB2 instead of HB2/HB3), and I brought this to the attention of the
director of the PDB at Brookhaven with the request that it be remedied
A group of NMR spectroscopists led by Kurt Wüthrich worked with the
NMR community to develop recommendations for the deposition of
NMR structures; all agreed that the prior IUPAC recommendations be
maintained (Pure & Appl. Chem., 70, 117-142, 1998)
Over the years, wwPDB Task Force on NMR has pushed strongly for
remediation of atom nomenclature
Worldwide Protein Data Bank
www.wwpdb.org
Accomplished: atom nomenclature remediation
Nomenclature in PDB now matches that in BMRB
The single format will avoid confusion and errors
All discrepancies have been resolved in the remediated files, with the minor
exception of atoms at the C-terminus
IUPAC-IUBMB-IUPAB

– Since these atoms are not observed by NMR spectroscopists, we do not
consider this to be a problem
– We plan to write an addendum to the IUPAC-IUBMB-IUPAB
“Recommendations” for submission to Pure & Appl. Chem. to formalize
these as “accepted atom designators”

Remediation of NMR structure files
Required the linking of structure files and restraint files
Atom names, residue numbers and chain identifiers
needed to be updated
Remediation of restraint files required the unpacking,
parsing, and regularization of legacy information
contained in PDB “MR” files into the “NMR Restraints
Grid”

NMR Restraints Grid development
PDB MR files are converted into NMR-STAR
NMR-STAR file and the corresponding PDB coordinate file are parsed;
the information is connected inside the CCPN framework; and the results
are written out as NMR-STAR files; converted restraint files are filtered to
remove redundant restraints
Files made available in the NMR Restraints Grid with access from links in
each corresponding PDB entry
NMR restraint data files with atom nomenclature corresponding to
remediated PDB data files will be available by the end of 2007
Worldwide Protein Data Bank
www.wwpdb.org
Current state of the NMR Restraints Grid
Grid contains 3583 entries with a total of 3,882,595
parsed restraints
3583 entries out of 6508 in PDB have restraints
Database is updated continuously as new PDB entries
are released that have associated NMR restraints
Worldwide Protein Data Bank
www.wwpdb.org
Recent agenda items considered
by the wwPDB NMR Task Force
Strongly recommend that restraints be mandatory for
all NMR depositions to the PDB
Commissioned the development of procedures for
representing uncertainty in NMR structures and for
specifying the single model meant to be most
representative of the structure
Task Force should write an article for J. Biomol. NMR
on its recommendations for data representation and
submission of experimental data
It was suggested that the Task Force begin to discuss
validation issues
