Abstract

The Protein Data Bank (PDB) was founded in 1971 and is the world wide repository of over 200,000 macro-molecular structures of proteins, nucleic acids and their complexes with small ligands and peptides. The PDB is managed by the World Wide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB). In order to aid depositors, reviewers and consumers of biological structural data in the archive, the wwPDB has established a validation pipeline for all structures. This talk will cover a brief presentation on X-ray structure refinement followed by the wwPDB validation pipeline to show how the validation process is of use to depositors and end users alike.
