1. Introduction

Purpose of this Document

The PDB Contents Guide gives a complete and concise description of the contents of PDB coordinate entry files. This document will be helpful to several communities, assisting depositors in preparing their entries for deposition, guiding software and information resource developers, and helping users of PDB to understand the contents of coordinate entries. Finally, this format description is crucial in the effort to produce CIF-compliant data files from PDB entries.

What's New in Version 2.1

List of changes/enhancements to PDB format as found in Contents Guide Version 2.1.

* MODRES records appear immediately following SEQRES. (The order was incorrectly stated in Version 2.0.)
* REMARK 3 has a new X-PLOR template to reflect the changes introduced by the recent release of X-PLOR(online)3.843.
* REMARK 3 will use the word NONE (for the attribute in the value-attribute pair) when the attribute is not applicable or when analysis options were chosen such that a value was not calculated. NULL will continue to be used to represent values not supplied by the depositor.
* COMPND and SOURCE have a few additional tokens.
* Some examples are enhanced, a few have been added.
* Language of the text has been improved in some places to help clarify the format.

What's New in Version 2.0

List of important changes/enhancements to PDB format as found in Contents Guide Version 2.0.

* Columns 71 - 80 now contain data. They previously contained the PDB ID code and record serial number. These items may be generated using scripts available from the PDB.

Changes to ATOM/HETATM Records

* A segment identifier has been added to the coordinate records in columns 73 - 76. This allows unambiguous identification of regions of the chains and the relationship between them by specifying segments of molecules.
* The element symbol and charge now appear in columns 77 - 80 of the coordinate records.
* When temperature factors are provided, the tempFactor field (columns 61 - 66) always contains the isotropic B value, even when ANISOU records are provided.
* Insertion codes (column 27) are now defined as being alphabetic only.

Changes to Other Records

* HELIX records now contain the length of the helix in columns 72 - 76.
* SSBOND records now state the symmetry operation needed to generate one of the residues of the disulfide bond, if necessary.
* Footnotes (FTNOTE) have been dropped.
* In CRYST1 records:
         - The full international Hermann-Mauguin symbol is used, 
           e.g., P 1 21 1 instead of P 21. 

         - For a rhombohedral space group in the hexagonal setting, 
           the lattice type symbol used is H.

* A number of record types which previously contained free text have been restructured as follows:
         - "Keyword: value" pairs have been introduced in certain records   
           such as COMPND and SOURCE to allow easier parsing.

         - EXPDTA has been expanded and now appears in every PDB coordinate 
           entry.

         - REMARK records have been restructured to allow easier parsing    
           and to bring more organization to these records.

New Record Types Added

* TITLE
* CAVEAT
* KEYWDS
* MODRES
* DBREF
* SEQADV
* HETNAM
* HETSYN
* LINK
* HYDBND
* SLTBRG
* CISPEP

Changes to PDB Format 2.0 Being Proposed on October 25, 1996

A number of changes are being proposed to the existing data format. We are presenting these changes here for consideration. In accordance with PDB's Format Change Policy, there will be an open sixty-day discussion period during which we will entertain comments and suggestions regarding these changes. Send comments to Enrique Abola (abola1@bnl.gov) or to Nancy Manning (oeder@bnl.gov). Discussion on the PDB Listserver is encouraged as well.

Changes being proposed here, if adopted, will not appear in released entries before March 31, 1997. A public announcement will be made some weeks prior to their appearance in released entries.

1. Hydrogen Atom Names in Amino Acids

Methylene hydrogen atoms will be labeled as 2HX and 3HX where X is the remoteness indicator of the atom. For example, hydrogen atoms attached to C beta of an amino acid will be named 2HB and 3HB. Our current convention is to name these 1HB and 2HB. This change will make PDB more compliant with IUPAC recommendations.

2. Space Group Symbol for Monoclinic Crystals

The use of the shortened Hermann-Mauguin symbol for monoclinic crystals will be reinstated. This will be applied to crystals in the standard b-unique cell setting. Thus the space group symbol P 21 will be used instead of P  1  21  1. Crystals using other settings will be designated with the full international Hermann-Mauguin symbol (e.g., P  21  1  1).

3. Representation of Modified Nucleic Acid Residues

Modified nucleic acids will be represented using the same rules that are used by the PDB for representing modified amino acids. We will assign a unique three-letter code for modified residues. For example, we will use BRU for brominated uridine rather than +U. In addition, all atoms belonging to the residue will be grouped together in the coordinate records. Our current practice is to list atoms that modify nucleotides after the TER record.

Changes to PDB Format and to the Contents Guide

When a change is made to PDB format, the format version number, as found in the entry and in this Contents Guide, will be incremented to the next whole number. Changes to the format of PDB coordinate entry files will follow the Format Change Policy presented below and will be detailed in this Contents Guide. Beginning January 1997, the format of all PDB entries will be compliant with the current version of this Contents Guide.

Changes to the Contents Guide will be listed at the beginning in the What's New section and denoted by a fractional increase in the document version number. These changes may be of the following kind.

* Correction of typographical errors.
* Changes to the language for clarity.
* Addition or changes to the examples for better representation of format issues.
* Addition of new rules (these do not change the format but help to clarify the semantics).
* Addition of tokens to specification lists, such as in COMPND and SOURCE records, that are needed to more fully describe the structure and its biological source.
* Enhancements to the refinement and experimental details templates in the REMARK records. These remarks are currently being reviewed by several people in the community, and PDB expects to increase the level of detail archived, such as for NMR studies.
* Addition of new sections that enhance and expand the document (these may include topics such as PDB to mmCIF cross references or insertion of relevant sections from the PDB Deposition Form).

Format Change Policy

The PDB will use the following protocol in making changes to the way PDB coordinate entries are represented and archived. The purpose of the new policy is to allow ample time for everyone to understand these changes and to assess their impact on existing programs. These modifications are necessary to address the changing needs of our users as well as the changing nature of the data that is archived.

1. Comments and suggestions will be solicited from the community on specific problems and data representation issues as they arise.
2. Proposed format changes will be disseminated through the PDB Listserver (pdb-l@pdb.pdb.bnl.gov) and PDB's Internet sites (WWW, FTP, and Gopher). They will also be summarized in the PDB Quarterly Newsletter.
3. A sixty-day discussion period will follow the announcement of proposed changes. Comments and suggestions must be received within this time period. Major changes which are not upwardly compatible will be allotted up to twice the standard amount of discussion time.
4. This sixty-day discussion period will be followed by a thirty-day period in which the PDB staff, the PDB Advisory Board, and the User Group Chair will evaluate and reconcile all suggestions. The final decision pertaining to the format change, which lies with the Advisory Board Chair, will then be officially announced via the PDB Listserver and PDB's Internet sites (WWW, FTP, and Gopher).
5. Implementation will follow official announcement of the format change. Major changes will not appear in PDB files earlier than sixty days after the announcement, allowing sufficient time to modify files and programs.
6. Changes will be released no more than twice a year, unless extraordinary circumstances require action. This will be done only in consultation with the Advisory Board and following the usual ninety-day discussion and evaluation period.

The PDB format has been in use since the late 1970's. A number of groups including the mmCIF Committee have been looking at ways to upgrade both the file content and the interchange format used by PDB. This is clearly needed due to changes in the data that PDB archives, the size of the database itself, and finally, to allow PDB to use more up-to-date methods for representing and storing biological data.

The PDB plans to be prudent and deliberate in making changes to the current PDB files in order to minimize the need to change existing programs. In particular, we will explore ways and means of ensuring that programs which read the current ATOM/HETATM records can continue to do so in the foreseeable future.

The PDB wishes to acknowledge Dr. Gerald Selzer of the National Science Foundation who urged us to formulate this policy.

Basic Notions of the Format Description

Character Set

Only non-control ASCII characters, as well as the space and end-of-line indicator, appear in a PDB coordinate entry file. Namely:

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

1234567890

` - = [ ] \ ; ' , . / ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + { } | : " < > ?

the space, and end-of-line. The end-of-line indicator is system-specific. Unix uses a line feed character; other systems may use a carriage return followed by a line feed.

Special Characters

Greek letters are spelled out, i.e., alpha, beta, gamma, etc.

Bullets are represented as (DOT).

Right arrow is represented as -->.

Left arrow is represented as <--.

Superscripts are initiated and terminated by double equal signs, e.g., S==2+==.

Subscripts are initiated and terminated by single equal signs, e.g., F=c=.

If "=" is surrounded by at least one space on each side, then it is assumed to be an equal sign, e.g., 2 + 4 = 6.

Commas, colons, and semi-colons are used as list delimiters in records which have one of the following data types:

List
SList
Specification List
Specification

If a comma, colon, or semi-colon is used in any context other than as a delimiting character, then the character must be escaped, i.e., immediately preceded by a backslash, "\". Examples of this use are found in line 4 of each of the following:

COMPND    MOL_ID: 1;

Record Format

Every PDB file may be broken into a number of lines terminated by an end-of-line indicator. Each line in the PDB entry file consists of 80 columns. The last character in each PDB entry should be an end-of-line indicator.

Each line in the PDB file is self-identifying. The first six columns of every line contain a record name, left-justified and blank-filled. This must be an exact match to one of the stated record names.

The PDB file may also be viewed as a collection of record types. Each record type consists of one or more lines.

Each record type is further divided into fields.

Each record type is detailed in this document. The description of each record type includes the following sections:

* Overview
* Record Format
* Details
* Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control
* Relationship to Other Record Types
* Example
* Known Problems

For records that are fully described in fixed column format, columns not assigned to fields must be left blank.

Types of Records

It is possible to group records into categories based upon how often the record type appears in an entry.

Single

There are records which may only appear one time (without continuations) in a file. Listed alphabetically, these are:

RECORD TYPE       DESCRIPTION                                                
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CRYST1            Unit cell parameters, space group, and Z.                   
END               Last record in the file.                                    
HEADER            First line of the entry, contains PDB ID code,              
                  classification, and date of deposition.                     
MASTER            Control record for bookkeeping.                             
ORIGXn            Transformation from orthogonal coordinates to the submitted 
                  coordinates (n = 1, 2, or 3).                               
SCALEn            Transformation from orthogonal coordinates to fractional    
                  crystallographic coordinates (n = 1, 2, or 3).              

It is an error for a duplicate of any of these records to appear in an entry.

Single Continued

There are records that conceptually exist only once in an entry, but the information content may exceed the number of columns available. These records are therefore continued on subsequent lines. Listed alphabetically, these are:

RECORD TYPE       DESCRIPTION                                                  
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CAVEAT            Severe error indicator.  Entries with this record must be    
                  used with care.                                              
COMPND            Description of macromolecular contents of the entry.         
EXPDTA            Experimental technique used for the structure determination.

OBSLTE            Statement that the entry has been removed from distribution  
                  and list of the ID code(s) which replaced it.                
SOURCE            Biological source of macromolecules in the entry.          
SPRSDE            List of entries withdrawn from release and replaced by       
                  current entry.                                               
TITLE             Description of the experiment represented in the entry.      

The second and subsequent lines contain a continuation field which is a right-justified integer. This number increments by one for each additional line of the record, and is followed by a blank character.

Multiple

Most record types appear multiple times, often in groups where the information is not logically concatenated but is presented in the form of a list. Many of these record types have a custom serialization that may be used not only to order the records, but also to connect to other record types. Listed alphabetically, these are:

RECORD TYPE       DESCRIPTION

Multiple Continued

There are records that conceptually exist multiple times in an entry, but the information content may exceed the number of columns available. These records are therefore continued on subsequent lines. Listed alphabetically, these are:

RECORD TYPE       DESCRIPTION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FORMUL            Chemical formula of non-standard groups.

HETNAM            Compound name of the heterogens.                              

The second and subsequent lines contain a continuation field which is a right-justified integer. This number increments by one for each additional line of the record, and is followed by a blank character.

Grouping

There are three record types used to group other records. Listed alphabetically, these are:

RECORD TYPE       DESCRIPTION

The MODEL/ENDMDL records surround groups of ATOM, HETATM, SIGATM, ANISOU, SIGUIJ, and TER records. TER records indicate the end of a chain.

Other

The remaining record types have a detailed inner structure. Listed alphabetically, these are:

Order of Records

All records in a PDB coordinate entry must appear in a defined order. Mandatory record types are present in all entries. When mandatory data are not provided, the record name must appear in the entry with a NULL indicator. Optional items become mandatory when certain conditions exist. Record order and existence are described in the following table:

Note that a PDB file existing outside of the PDB official release may contain locally-defined records beginning with "USER". The PDB reserves the right to add new record types (not beginning with "USER"), so programs which read PDB entries should be prepared to read (and ignore) other record types. PDB will follow standard procedures whenever format changes are proposed.

Field Formats

Each record type is presented in a table which contains the division of the records into fields by column number, defined data type, field name or a quoted string which must appear in the field, and field definition. Any column not specified must be left blank.

Each field contains an identified data type which can be validated by a program. These are:

DATA TYPE          DESCRIPTION                                                    
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AChar              An alphabetic character (A-Z, a-z).    
Atom               Atom name which follow the naming rules in Appendix 3.         
Character          Any non-control character in the ASCII character set or a 
                   space.                                                    
Continuation       A two-character field that is either blank (for the first   
                   record of a set) or contains a two digit number             
                   right-justified and blank-filled which counts continuation  
                   records starting with 2.  The continuation number must be 
                   followed by a blank.                                        
Date               A 9 character string in the form dd-mmm-yy where DD is the 
                   day of the month, zero-filled on the left (e.g., 04); MMM is
                   the common English 3-letter abbreviation of the month; and   
                   YY is a year in the 20th century.  This must represent a     
                   valid date.                                                 
IDcode             A PDB identification code which consists of 4 characters,    
                   the first of which is a digit in the range 0 - 9; the       
                   remaining 3 are alpha-numeric, and letters are upper case    
                   only.  Entries with a 0 as the first character do not       
                   contain coordinate data.                                   
Integer            Right-justified blank-filled integer value.              
Token              A sequence of non-space characters followed by a colon and a 
                   space.                                                     
List               A String that is composed of text separated with commas.  
LString            A literal string of characters.  All spacing is significant 
                   and must be preserved.                                     
LString(n)         An LString with exactly n characters.                          
Real(n,m)          Real (floating point) number in the FORTRAN format Fn.m.       
Record name        The name of the record: 6 characters, left-justified and       
                   blank-filled.                                                  
Residue name       One of the standard amino acid or nucleic acids, as listed     
                   below, or the non-standard group designation as defined in     
                   the HET dictionary.  Field is right-justified.                  
SList              A String that is composed of text separated with semi-colons.  
Specification      A String composed of a token and its associated value          
                   separated by a colon.                                         
Specification      A sequence of Specifications, separated by semi-colons.        
list                                                                            
String             A sequence of characters.  These characters may have           
                   arbitrary spacing, but should be interpreted as directed       
                   below.                                                         
String(n)          A String with exactly n characters.                            
SymOP              An integer field of from 4 to 6 digits, right-justified, of   
                   the form nnnMMM where nnn is the symmetry operator number and  
                   MMM is the translation vector.  See details in Appendix 1.

To interpret a String, concatenate the contents of all continued fields together, collapse all sequences of multiple blanks to a single blank, and remove any leading and trailing blanks. This permits very long strings to be properly reconstructed.

The above information about field formats is repeated as Appendix 6.

2. Title Section

This section contains records used to describe the experiment and the biological macromolecules present in the entry: HEADER, OBSLTE, TITLE, CAVEAT, COMPND, SOURCE, KEYWDS, EXPDTA, AUTHOR, REVDAT, SPRSDE, JRNL, and REMARK records.


HEADER

Overview

The HEADER record uniquely identifies a PDB entry through the idCode field. This record also provides a classification for the entry. Finally, it contains the date the coordinates were deposited at the PDB.

Details

* The classification string is left-justified and exactly matches one of a collection of strings. See the class list available from the WWW site. In the case of macromolecular complexes, the classification field must present a class for each macromolecule present. Due to the limited length of the classification field, strings must sometimes be abbreviated. In these cases, the full terms are given in KEYWDS.

* Classification may be based on function, metabolic role, molecule type, cellular location, etc. In the case of a molecule having a dual function, both may be presented here.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

The verification program checks that the deposition date is a legitimate date and that the ID code is well-formed. PDB coordinate entry ID codes do not begin with 0, as this is used to identify the NOC files which are bibliographic only, not structural entries. The status and deposition date of an entry are checked against the PDB SYBASE tables, which provide a definitive list of existing ID codes.

Relationships to Other Record Types

The classification found in HEADER also appears in KEYWDS, unabbreviated and in no strict order.

OBSLTE

Overview

OBSLTE appears in entries which have been withdrawn from distribution.

This record acts as a flag in an entry which has been withdrawn from the PDB's full release. It indicates which, if any, new entries have replaced the withdrawn entry.

The format allows for the case of multiple new entries replacing one existing entry.

Details

* It is PDB policy that only the primary author who submitted an entry has the authority to withdraw it. All withdrawn entries are available for research purposes. PDB should be contacted in cases where the withdrawn data are desired.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

PDB staff add this record at the time an entry is removed from release.

Relationships to Other Record Types

None.

TITLE

Overview

The TITLE record contains a title for the experiment or analysis that is represented in the entry. It should identify an entry in the PDB in the same way that a title identifies a paper.

11 - 70        String          title          Title of the experiment.              

Details

* The title of the entry is free text and should describe the contents of the entry and any procedures or conditions that distinguish this entry from similar entries. It presents an opportunity for the depositor to emphasize the underlying purpose of this particular experiment.

* Some items that may be included in TITLE are:

- Experiment type.
- Description of the mutation.
- The fact that only alpha carbon coordinates have been provided in the entry.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

This record is free text so no verification of format is required. The title is supplied by the depositor, but PDB staff may exercise editorial judgment in consultation with depositors in assigning the title.

Relationships to Other Record Types

COMPND, SOURCE, EXPDTA, and REMARKs provide information that may also be found in TITLE. You may think of the title as describing the experiment, and the compound record as describing the molecule(s).

Details

* PDB will add this record to incorrect entries that are not withdrawn from the set of released entries. This record will be used sparingly, and only after an external review has been made.

* Please note the CAVEAT will also be included in cases where PDB is unable to verify the transformation back to the crystallographic cell. In these cases, the molecular structure may still be correct.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

CAVEAT will be added by the PDB to entries known to be incorrect.

Relationships to Other Record Types

REMARK 5 repeats the comment field of the CAVEAT record.

COMPND

Overview

The COMPND record describes the macromolecular contents of an entry. Each macromolecule found in the entry is described by a set of token: value pairs, and is referred to as a COMPND record component. Since the concept of a molecule is difficult to specify exactly, PDB staff may exercise editorial judgment in consultation with depositors in assigning these names.

For each macromolecular component, the molecule name, synonyms, number assigned by the Enzyme Commission (EC), and other relevant details are specified.

Details

* The compound record is a Specification list. The specifications, or tokens, that may be used are listed below:

TOKEN                   VALUE DEFINITION                                       
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MOL_ID                  Numbers each component; also used in SOURCE to associate 
                        the information.   
MOLECULE                Name of the macromolecule.         
CHAIN                   Comma-separated list of chain identifier(s). "NULL" is   
                        used to indicate a blank chain identifier.     
FRAGMENT                Specifies a domain or region of the molecule.            
SYNONYM                 Comma-separated list of synonyms for the MOLECULE.       
EC                      The Enzyme Commission number associated with the         
                        molecule. If there is more than one EC number, they     
                        are presented as a comma-separated list.                 
ENGINEERED              Indicates that the molecule was produced using           
                        recombinant technology or by purely chemical synthesis.  
MUTATION                Describes mutations from the wild type molecule.         
BIOLOGICAL_UNIT         If the MOLECULE functions as part of a larger            
                        biological unit, the entire functional unit may be       
                        described.                                               
OTHER_DETAILS           Additional comments.                                     

* In the general case the PDB tends to reflect the biological/functional view of the molecule. For example, the hetero-tetramer hemoglobin molecule is treated as a discrete component in COMPND.

* In the case of synthetic molecules, e. g., hybrids, the description will be provided by the depositor.

* No specific rules apply to the ordering of the tokens, except that the occurrence of MOL_ID or FRAGMENT indicates that the subsequent tokens are related to that specific molecule or fragment of the molecule.

* Physical layout of these items may be altered by PDB staff to improve human readability of the COMPND record.

* Asterisks in nucleic acid names (in MOLECULE) are for ease of reading.

* When insertion codes are given as part of the residue name, they must be given within square brackets, i.e., H57[A]N. This might occur when listing residues in FRAGMENT, MUTATION, or OTHER_DETAILS.

* For multi-chain molecules, e.g., the hemoglobin tetramer, a comma-separated list of CHAIN identifiers is used.

* When non-blank chain identifiers occur in the entry, they must be specified.

* NULL is used to indicate blank chain identifiers. E.g., CHAIN: NULL, CHAIN: NULL, B, C.

* For enzymes, if no EC number has been assigned, "EC: NOT ASSIGNED" is used.

* ENGINEERED is followed either by "YES" or by a comment.

* For the token MUTATION, the following set of examples illustrate the conventions used by PDB to represent various types of mutations.

   MUTATION TYPE         DESCRIPTION                     FORM

                         from chain B only               Chain B, DEL(H23[C],R26)

* When there are more than ten mutations:

- All the mutations are listed in the SEQADV record.
- Some mutations may be listed in MUTATION in COMPND to highlight the most important ones, at the depositor's discretion.

* New tokens may be added by the PDB as needed.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

CHAIN must match the chain identifiers(s) of the molecule(s). EC numbers are checked against the Enzyme Data Bank.

Relationships to Other Record Types

Each molecule given a MOL_ID in COMPND must be listed and given the biological source information in SOURCE. In the case of mutations, the SEQADV records will present differences from the reference molecule. REMARK record may further describe the contents of the entry. Also see verification above.

SOURCE

Overview

The SOURCE record specifies the biological and/or chemical source of each biological molecule in the entry. Sources are described by both the common name and the scientific name, e.g., genus and species. Strain and/or cell-line for immortalized cells are given when they help to uniquely identify the biological entity studied.

                                     which is not given elsewhere.              

* The srcName is a list of token: value pairs describing each biological component of the entry.

* As in COMPND, the order is not specified except that MOL_ID or FRAGMENT indicates subsequent specifications are related to that molecule or fragment of the molecule.

* Physical layout of these items may be altered by PDB staff to improve human readability of the SOURCE record.

* Only the relevant tokens need to appear in an entry.

* Molecules prepared by purely chemical synthetic methods are described by the specification SYNTHETIC followed by "YES" or an optional value, such as NON-BIOLOGICAL SOURCE or BASED ON THE NATURAL SEQUENCE. ENGINEERED must appear in the COMPND record.

* In the case of a chemically synthesized molecule using a biologically functional sequence (nucleic or amino acid), SOURCE reflects the biological origin of the sequence and COMPND reflects its synthetic nature by inclusion of the token ENGINEERED. The token SYNTHETIC appears in SOURCE.

* If made from a synthetic gene, ENGINEERED appears in COMPND and the expression system is described in SOURCE (SYNTHETIC does NOT appear in SOURCE).

* If the molecule was made using recombinant techniques, ENGINEERED appears in COMPND and the system is described in SOURCE.

* When multiple macromolecules appear in the entry, each MOL_ID, as given in the COMPND record, must be repeated in the SOURCE record along with the source information for the corresponding molecule.

* Hybrid molecules prepared by fusion of genes are treated as multi-molecular systems for the purpose of specifying the source. The token FRAGMENT is used to associate the source with its corresponding fragment.

- When necessary to fully describe hybrid molecules, tokens may appear more than once for a given MOL_ID.
- All relevant token: value pairs that taken together fully describe each fragment are grouped following the appropriate FRAGMENT.
- Descriptors relative to the full system appear before the FRAGMENT (see Example 3 below).

* ORGANISM_SCIENTIFIC provides the Latin genus and species. Virus names are listed as the scientific name.

* Cellular origin is described by giving cellular compartment, organelle, cell, tissue, organ, or body part from which the molecule was isolated.

* CELLULAR_LOCATION may be used to indicate where in the organism the compound was found. Examples are: extracellular, periplasmic, cytosol.

* Entries containing molecules prepared by recombinant techniques are described as follows:

- The expression system is described.
- The organism and cell location given are for the source of the gene used in the cloning experiment.
- Transgenic organisms, such as mouse producing human proteins, are treated as expression systems.

* For a theoretical modelling experiment, SOURCE describes the modelled compound just as though it were an experimental study.

* New tokens may be added by the PDB.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

The biological source is compared to that found in the sequence database. Common and scientific names are checked against the "Annotated Classification of Source Organisms: PIR-International Protein Sequence Database" compiled by Andrzej Elzanowski and available from the PDB.

Relationships to Other Record Types

Each macromolecule listed in COMPND must have a corresponding source.

KEYWDS

Overview

The KEYWDS record contains a set of terms relevant to the entry. Terms in the KEYWDS record provide a simple means of categorizing entries and may be used to generate index files. This record addresses some of the limitations found in the classification field of the HEADER record. It provides the opportunity to add further annotation to the entry in a concise and computer-searchable fashion.

Details

* The KEYWDS record contains a list of terms relevant to the entry, similar to that found in journal articles. A phrase may be used if it presents a single concept (e.g., reaction center). Terms provided in this record may include those that describe the following:

- Functional classification.
- Metabolic role.
- Known biological or chemical activity.
- Structural classification.

*Other classifying terms may be used. No ordering is required for these terms. A number of PDB entries contain complexes of macromolecules. In these cases, all terms applicable to each molecule should be provided.

*Note that the terms in the KEYWDS record duplicate those found in the classification field of the HEADER record. Terms abbreviated in the HEADER record are unabbreviated in KEYWDS, and the parentheses used in HEADER are optional in KEYWDS.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

Terms used in the KEYWDS record are subject to scientific and editorial review. A list of terms, definitions, and synonyms will be maintained at the PDB. Every attempt will be made to provide some level of consistency with keywords used in other biological databases.

Relationships to Other Record Types

HEADER records contain a classification term which must also appear in KEYWDS. Scientific judgment will dictate when terms used in one entry to describe a molecule should be included in other entries with the same or similar molecules.

                                           sample or experiment. 

Details

* EXPDTA is mandatory and appears in all entries.

* The technique must match one of the permitted values. See above.

* If more than one model appears in the entry, the number of models included must be stated.

* If only one model appears in the entry, its significance must be stated, such as it being a minimized average or regularized mean structure.

* If more than one technique was used for the structure determination and is being represented in the entry, EXPDTA presents the techniques as a semi-colon separated list. Each technique may have a comment, which appears before the semi-colon.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

The verification program checks that the EXPDTA record appears in the entry and that the technique matches one of the allowed values. It also checks that the relevant standard REMARK is added in the case of NMR, fiber, or theoretical modeling studies, and that the correct CRYST1 and SCALE are used in these cases. If an entry contains multiple models, the verification program checks for the correct number of matching MODEL/ENDMDL records.

Relationships to Other Record Types

If the experiment is an NMR, fiber, or theoretical modeling study, this may be stated in the TITLE, and the appropriate EXPDTA and REMARK records should appear. Specific details of the data collection and experiment appear in the REMARKs.

In the case of a polycrystalline fiber diffraction study, CRYST1 and SCALE contain the normal unit cell data.

SPRSDE

Overview

The SPRSDE records contain a list of the ID codes of entries that were made obsolete by the given coordinate entry and withdrawn from the PDB release set. One entry may replace many. It is PDB policy that only the principal investigator of a structure has the authority to withdraw it.

Details

* The ID code list is terminated by the first blank sIDcode field.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

PDB checks that the superseded entries have actually been withdrawn from release.

Relationships to Other Record Types

The sprsdeDate is usually the date the entry is released, and therefore matches the date in the REVDAT 1 record. The ID code found in the idCode field must be the same as one found in the idCode field of the HEADER record.

JRNL

Overview

The JRNL record contains the primary literature citation that describes the experiment which resulted in the deposited coordinate set. There is at most one JRNL reference per entry. If there is no primary reference, then there is no JRNL reference. Other references are given in REMARK 1.

PDB is in the process of linking and/or adding all references to CitDB, the literature database used by the Genome Data Base (available at URL http://gdbwww.gdb.org/gdb-bin/genera/genera/citation/Citation).

Record Format

COLUMNS    DATA TYPE      FIELD     DEFINITION                                   
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 1 -  6    Record name    "JRNL  "                                               
13 - 70    LString        text      See Details below.                            

Details

* The following tables are used to describe the sub-record types of the JRNL record.

* The AUTH sub-record is mandatory in JRNL. This is followed by TITL, EDIT, REF, PUBL, and REFN sub-record types. REF and REFN are also mandatory in JRNL. EDIT and PUBL may appear only if the reference is to a non-journal.

* If the JRNL reference is in the MEDLINE database the information in the MEDLINE reference will be used to supply information for the sub-record types.

* When a MEDLINE reference is used, the abbreviation of the journal will be converted to the CASSI abbreviation as listed in the coden list used jointly by the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) and the PDB.

1. AUTH

* AUTH contains the list of authors associated with the cited article or contribution to a larger work (i.e., AUTH is not used for the editor of a book).

* The author list is formatted similarly to the AUTHOR record. It is a comma-separated list of names. Spaces at the end of a sub-record are not significant; all other spaces are significant. See the AUTHOR record for full details.

* The authorList field of continuation sub-records in JRNL differs from that in AUTHOR by leaving no leading blank in column 20 of any continuation lines.

* One author's name, consisting of the initials and family name, cannot be split across two lines. If there are continuation sub-records, then all but the last sub-record must end in a comma.

COLUMNS    DATA TYPE      FIELD         DEFINITION

20 - 70    List           authorList    List of the authors.                     

2. TITL

* TITL specifies the title of the reference. This is used for the title of a journal article, chapter, or part of a book. The TITL line is omitted if the author(s) listed in authorList wrote the entire book (or other work) listed in REF and no section of the book is being cited.

* If an article is in a language other than English and is printed with an alternate title in English, the English language title is given, followed by a space and then the name of the language (in its English form, in square brackets) in which the article is written.

* If the title of an article is in a non-Roman alphabet the title is transliterated.

* The actual title cited is reconstructed in a manner identical to other continued records, i.e., trailing blanks are discarded and the continuation line is concatenated with a space inserted.

* A line cannot end with a hyphen. A compound term (two elements connected by a hyphen) or chemical names which include a hyphen must appear on a single line, unless they are too long to fit on one line, in which case the split is made at a normally-occurring hyphen. An individual word cannot be hyphenated at the end of a line and put on two lines. An exception is when there is a repeating compound term where the second element is omitted, e.g., "DOUBLE- AND TRIPLE-RESONANCE". In such a case the non-completed word "DOUBLE-" could end a line and not alter reconstruction of the title.

3. EDIT

* EDIT appears if editors are associated with a non-journal reference. The editor list is formatted and concatenated in the same way that author lists are.

4. REF

* REF is a group of fields which contains either the publication status or the name of the publication (and any supplement and/or report information), volume, page, and year. There are two forms of this sub-record group, depending upon the citation's publication status.

4a. If the reference has not yet been published, the sub-record type group has the form:

COLUMNS    DATA TYPE      FIELD                   DEFINITION                      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

13 - 16    LString(3)     "REF"                                                   
20 - 34    LString(15)    "TO BE PUBLISHED"                                       

* At the present time, there is no formal mechanism in place for monitoring the subsequent publication of such referenced papers. PDB relies upon the depositor to provide reference update information since preliminary information can change by the time of actual publication.

4b. If the reference has been published, then the REF sub-record type contains information about the name of the publication, supplement, report, volume, page, and year in the appropriate fields. These fields are detailed below.

* Publication name (first item in pubName field):

- If the publication is a serial (i.e., a journal, an annual, or other non-book or non-monographic item issued in parts and intended to be continued indefinitely), use the abbreviated name of the publication as listed in American Chemical Society (A.C.S.) publications such as CAS Source Index (CASSI) or Chemical Abstracts. (The A.C.S. abbreviation is based on the International Standards Organization's standard ISO 4-1984[E].) If the A.C.S. has not yet established an abbreviation for the publication, the name is given in full.
- If the publication is a book, monograph, or other non-serial item, use its full name according to the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, 2nd Ed., 1988 revision (AACR2R). (Non-serial items include theses, videos, computer programs, and anything that is complete in one or a finite number of parts.) If there is a sub-title, and the item is verified in an online catalog, it will be included using the same punctuation as in the source of verification. Preference will be given to verification using cataloging of the Library of Congress, the National Library of Medicine, and the British Library, in that order.
- If a book is part of a monographic series: the full name of the book (according to AACR2R) is listed first, followed by the name of the series in which it was published. The series information is given within parentheses and the series name is preceded by "IN:" and a space. If the series has an A.C.S. abbreviation, that abbreviation should be used; otherwise the series name should be listed in full. If applicable, the series name should be followed, after a comma and a space, by a volume (V.) and/or number (NO.) and/or part (PT.) indicator and the relevant characters to indicate its number and/or letter in the series.

* Supplement (follows publication name in pubName field):

- If a reference is in a supplement to the volume listed, or if information about a "part" is needed to distinguish multiple parts with the same page numbering, such information should be put in the REF sub-record.
- A supplement indication should follow the name of the publication and should be preceded by a comma and a space. Supplement should be abbreviated as "SUPPL." If there is a supplement number or letter, it should follow "SUPPL." without an intervening space. A part indication should also follow the name of the publication and be preceded by a comma and a space. A part should be abbreviated as "PT.", and the number or letter should follow without an intervening space.
- If there is both a supplement and a part, their order should reflect the order printed on the work itself.

* Report (follows publication name and any supplement or part information in pubName field):

- If a book has a report designation, the report information should follow the title and precede series information. The name and number of the report is given in parentheses, and the name is preceded by "REPORT:" and a space.

* Reconstruction of publication name:

- The name of the publication is reconstructed by removing any trailing blanks in the pubName field, and concatenating all of the pubName fields from the continuation lines with an intervening space. There are two conditions where no intervening space is added between lines: when the pubName field on a line ends with a hyphen or a period, or when the line ends with a hyphen (-). When the line ends with a period (.), add a space if this is the only period in the entire pubName field; do not add a space if there are two or more periods throughout the pubName field, excluding any periods after the designations "SUPPL", "V", "NO", or "PT".

* Volume, page, and year (volume, page, year fields respectively):

- The REF sub-record type group also contains information about volume, page, and year when applicable.
- In the case of a monograph with multiple volumes which is also in a numbered series, the number in the volume field represents the volume number of the book, not the series. (The volume number of the series is in parentheses with the name of the series, as described above under publication name.)

5. PUBL

* PUBL contains the name of the publisher and place of publication if the reference is to a book or other non-journal publication. If the non-journal has not yet been published or released, this sub-record is absent.

* The place of publication is listed first, followed by a space, a colon, another space, and then the name of the publisher/issuer. This arrangement is based on the ISBD(M) International Standard Bibliographic Description for Monographic Publications (Rev.Ed., 1987) and AACR2R and is used in public online catalogues in libraries. Details on the contents of PUBL are given below.

* Place of publication:

- Give the place of publication. If the name of the country, state, province, etc. is considered necessary to distinguish the place of publication from others of the same name, or for identification, then follow the city with a comma, a space, and the name of the larger geographic area.
- If there is more than one place of publication, only the first listed will be used. If an online catalog record is used to verify the item, the first place listed there will be used, omitting any brackets. Preference will be given to the cataloging done by the Library of Congress, the National Library of Medicine, and the British Library, in that order.

* Publisher's name (or name of other issuing entity):

- Give the name of the publisher in the shortest form in which it can be understood and identified internationally, according to AACR2R rule 1.4D.
- If there is more than one publisher listed in the publication, only the first will be used in the PDB file. If an online catalog record is used to verify the item, the first place listed there will be used for the name of the publisher. Preference will be given to the cataloging of the Library of Congress, the National Library of Medicine, and the British Library, in that order.

* Ph.D. and other theses:

- Theses are presented in the PUBL record if the degree has been granted and the thesis made available for public consultation by the degree-granting institution.
- The name of the degree-granting institution (the issuing agency) is followed by a space and "(THESIS)".

* Reconstruction of place and publisher:

- The PUBL sub-record type can be reconstructed by removing all trailing blanks in the pub field and concatenating all of the pub fields from the continuation lines with an intervening space. Continued lines do not begin with a space.

                                       publisher/institution.                    

6. REFN

* REFN is a group of fields which contains encoded references to the citation. No continuation lines are possible. Each piece of coded information has a designated field.

* The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) number is an encoded reference to the journal title. New ASTM codens are assigned by the Chemical Abstracts Service and appear in CASSI and its supplements.

* The country field is blank if the reference was published in more than one country.

* If more than one ISBN is known, select one that matches the individual volume cited (if it happens to be in a set that also has an ISBN for the set). If the reason for multiple ISBNs is that the publication is issued in more than one country, use the ISBN for the country of the first listed place of publication. If there are hardcover and paperback ISBN numbers, use the ISBN for the hardbound version.

* Because some publications do not have an ASTM coden, an ISSN number, or an ISBN number, each publication is assigned a number. This list of numbers, or codens, was established by the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Center (CCDC) and new numbers are assigned by both CCDC and PDB as new publications are added to their respective databases.

* There are two forms of this sub-record type group, depending upon the publication status.

6a. This form of the REFN sub-record type group is used if the citation has not been published.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

PDB verifies that this record is correctly formatted.

PDB uses MEDLINE to verify the accuracy of references and to obtain information required for CitDB that is not required by the PDB listing. The process of using MEDLINE requires following the National Library of Medicine rules for the transcription of names and titles. Articles in non-MEDLINE journals are verified through other online databases or with the reprint in hand. Verification of book references is done using online cooperative or individual library catalogues.

Citations appearing in JRNL may not also appear in REMARK 1.

Relationships to Other Record Types

The publication cited as the JRNL record may not be repeated in REMARK 1.

Known Problems

* Interchange of bibliographic information and linking with other databases is hampered by the lack of labels or specific locations for certain types of information or by more than one type of information being in a particular location. This is most likely to occur with books, series, and reports. Some of the points below provide details about the variations and/or blending of information.

* Titles of the publications that require more than 28 characters on the REF line must be continued on subsequent lines. There is some awkwardness due to volume, page, and year appearing on the first REF line, thereby splitting up the title.

* Information about a supplement and its number/letter is presented in the publication's title field (on the REF lines in columns 20 - 47). This sometimes means that the publication's coden has several versions of REF title information.

* When series information for a book is presented, it is added to the REF line. The number of REF lines can become large in some cases because of the 28-column limit for title information in REF.

* There is often an ISBN for a book title and a separate ISSN for the series in which it was published. There is no way to present more than one of these.

* Books that are issued in more than one series are not accommodated.

* Many books are issued in more than one country. The publisher has a separate ISBN number in each country. There is no place to put any additional applicable ISBN numbers, which would be useful in an international database such as the PDB.

* The country code prefix of the ISBN may not match the country of the place of publication that is listed on the PUBL line when a book is published in more than one country.

* Pagination is limited to the beginning page.

* There is no place for listing a reference's accession number in another database.

* MEDLINE truncates the author list after the tenth name.


REMARK

Overview

REMARK records present experimental details, annotations, comments, and information not included in other records. In a number of cases, REMARKs are used to expand the contents of other record types. A new level of structure is being used for some REMARK records. This is expected to facilitate searching and will assist in the conversion to a relational database.

The very first line of every set of REMARK records is used as a spacer to aid in reading.

COLUMNS      DATA TYPE       FIELD          DEFINITION                           
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 1 -  6      Record name     "REMARK"           
 8 - 10      Integer         remarkNum      Remark number. It is not an error
                                            for remark n to exist in an entry 
                                            when remark n-1 does not.
12 - 70      LString         empty          Left as white space in first line of
                                            each new remark.  

REMARK 1, 2, and 3, detailed below, are specific for references, resolution, and refinement, respectively.

REMARK 1

REMARK 1 lists important publications related to the structure presented in the entry. These citations are chosen by the depositor. They are listed in reverse-chronological order. Citations are not repeated from the JRNL records. After the first blank record and the REFERENCE sub-record, the sub-record types for REMARK 1 are the same as in the JRNL sub-record types. For details, see the JRNL section.

PDB is in the process of linking and/or adding references to CitDB, the literature database of the Genome Data Base (available at URL http://gdbwww.gdb.org/gdb-bin/genera/genera/citation/Citation).

Record Format and Details

As with all other remarks, the first line is empty and is used as a spacer.

The following tables are used to describe the sub-record types of REMARK 1.

1. REFERENCE

Each reference is preceded by a line indicating the reference number in the entry.

COLUMNS        DATA TYPE       FIELD              DEFINITION

5. REF

REF is a group of fields which contains the name of the publication.

5a. If it has not yet been published, the REF sub-record type has the form:

COLUMNS    DATA TYPE      FIELD                   DEFINITION                      
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 1 -  6    Record name    "REMARK"                                                
10         LString(1)     "1"                                                     
13 - 16    LString(3)     "REF"                                                   
20 - 34    LString(15)    "TO BE PUBLISHED"                                       

At the present time, there is no formal mechanism in place for monitoring the subsequent publication of referenced papers. PDB relies upon the depositor to provide reference update information since preliminary information can change by the time of actual publication.

5b. If the reference has been published, then the REF sub-record type group contains information about the name of the publication, supplement, report, volume, page, and year, in the appropriate fields.

COLUMNS        DATA TYPE       FIELD          DEFINITION

                                              This is the only field of this     
                                              record which may be continued on    
                                              successive records.

                                              sub-record only.                    
57 - 61        String          page           First page of the article; appears 
                                              in the first sub-record only.       
63 - 66        Integer         year           Year of publication, first record

See JRNL REFN for details.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

PDB verifies that this record is correctly formatted.

PDB uses MEDLINE to verify the accuracy of references and to obtain information required for CitDB that is not required by the PDB listing. The process of using MEDLINE requires following the National Library of Medicine rules for the transcription of names and titles. Articles in non-MEDLINE journals are verified through other online databases or with the reprint in hand. Verification of book references is done using online cooperative or individual library catalogues.

REMARK 2

REMARK 2 states the highest resolution, in Angstroms, that was used in building the model. As with all the remarks, the first REMARK 2 record is empty and is used as a spacer.

Record Format and Details

* The second REMARK 2 record has one of two formats. The first is used for diffraction studies, the second for other types of experiments in which resolution is not relevant, e.g., NMR and theoretical modeling.

* For diffraction experiments:

COLUMNS        DATA TYPE       FIELD               DEFINITION

REMARK 2 when not a diffraction experiment:

* Additional explanatory text may be included starting with the third line of the REMARK 2 record. For example, depositors may wish to qualify the resolution value provided due to unusual experimental conditions.

REMARK 3

Overview

REMARK 3 presents information on refinement program(s) used and the related statistics. For non-diffraction studies, REMARK 3 is used to describe any refinement done, but its format in those cases is mostly free text.

If more than one refinement package was used, they may be named in "OTHER REFINEMENT REMARKS". However, Remark 3 statistics are given for the final refinement run.

Refinement packages are being enhanced to output PDB REMARK 3. A token: value template style facilitates parsing. Spacer REMARK 3 lines are interspersed for visually organizing the information.

The templates below have been adopted in consultation with program authors. PDB is continuing this dialogue with program authors, and expects the library of PDB records output by the programs to greatly increase in the near future.

Instead of providing a Record Format table, each template is given as it appears in PDB entries.

Details

* The value "NULL" is given when there is no data available for a particular token.

Refinement using X-PLOR

This remark will be output by X-PLOR(online) for direct submission to PDB. Structures done using earlier versions of X-PLOR will contain the same template, but with many of the data items containing "NULL".

REMARK 4 - 999

Overview

REMARKs following the refinement remark consist of free text annotation, predefined boilerplate remarks, and token: value pair styled templates. PDB is beginning to organize the most often used remarks, and assign numbers and topics to them.

Presented here is the scheme being followed in the remark section of PDB files. The PDB expects to continue to adopt standard text or tables for certain remarks, as details are worked out.

Record Format and Details

* Non-standard remark annotations, or those with no clearly-defined topic or assigned remark number, appear with remark number 6 or greater, but less than remark number 100.

* Note that A, B, N, X, Y, and Z are used to represent variables in the following examples.

* As with all other remarks, the first line of each remark is empty and is used as a spacer.

REMARK 4, Format

Entries released after April 15, 1996 will comply with Format Version 2.0, described in this document. Conversion of older entries to this format will begin in the fall of 1996.
Entries conforming to the format described in this or future PDB Contents Guides will have a remark of the following form within them:
Remark 4 is mandatory in entry if released after April 15, 1996.

REMARK 999 Sequence

Further details on the sequence.

For cases where there are gaps in the structure as reflected in missing ATOM records missing N-terminus and C-terminus residues are delineated in REMARK 999 records, whereas internal structural gaps are represented in SEQADV records. Several cases must be considered when evaluating these REMARK 999 records:

1. The missing N-terminus atoms are not found in the ATOM record as they represent precursor sequence and are not found in the mature protein.
2. The missing N-terminus residues were not found in the density map. Although PDB will attempt to flag these as SEQADV records, we cannot guarantee that they will always be handled uniformly. The primary reason for this inconsistency is that in a number of cases, neither PDB nor the depositors, are certain where chains start and end.

3. Primary Structure Section

The primary structure section of a PDB file contains the sequence of residues in each chain of the macromolecule. Embedded in these records are chain identifiers and sequence numbers that allow other records to link into the sequence.


DBREF

Overview

The DBREF record provides cross-reference links between PDB sequences and the corresponding database entry or entries. A cross reference to the sequence database is mandatory for each peptide chain with a length greater than ten (10) residues. For nucleic acid entries a DBREF record pointing to the Nucleic Acid Database (NDB) is mandatory when the corresponding entry exists in NDB.

Details

* PDB entries contain multi-chain molecules with sequences that may be wild type, variant, or synthetic. Sequences may also have been modified through site-directed mutagenesis experiments (engineered). A number of PDB entries report structures of domains cleaved from larger molecules.

* The DBREF record was designed to account for these differences by providing explicit correlations between contiguous segments of sequences as given in the PDB ATOM records and the sequence database entry. Several cases are easily represented by means of pointers between the databases using DBREF. PDB entries containing heteropolymers are linked to different sequence database entries. In some cases, such as those PDB entries containing immunoglobulin Fab fragments, each chain is linked to two different SWISS-PROT, PIR, and/or GenBank entries. This facility is needed because these databases represent sequences for the various immunoglobulin domains as separate entries. DBREF also is able to represent molecules engineered by altering the gene (fusing genes, altering sequences, creating chimeras, or circularly permuting sequences). This design has the additional advantage that it will be possible to construct pointers to other relevant databases such as the Nucleic Acid Database, BioMagResBank, and databases describing sequence motifs (e.g., PROSITE, BLOCKS).

* Database names and their abbreviations as used on DBREF records.

* When no sequence numbers are given (columns 15 - 25 and 56 - 68), then the mapping is between database entries rather than segments within an entry. For example, this is normally used to point to the related NDB entry.

* DBREF records present sequence correlations between PDB ATOM records and corresponding PIR, GenBank, or SWISS-PROT, etc. entries.

* PDB does not guarantee that all possible references to the listed databases will be provided. In most cases, only one reference to a sequence database will be provided.

* PDB entries containing chains for which residues are missing primarily due to disorder contain several DBREF records, each linking an observed sequence segment to a sequence database entry.

* If no reference is found in the sequence databases, then the PDB entry itself is given as the reference.

* For nucleic acid entries a DBREF record pointing to the Nucleic Acid Database (NDB) is mandatory when the corresponding entry exists in NDB.

* Selection of the appropriate sequence database entry or entries to be linked to a PDB entry is done on the basis of the sequence and its biological source. Questions on entry assignment that may arise are resolved by consultation with database staff.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

The sequence database entry found during PDB's search is compared to that provided by the depositor and any differences are resolved or annotated.

In most cases, only one reference to a sequence database will be provided. PDB does not guarantee that all possible references to the listed databases will be provided.

Relationships to Other Record Types

DBREF represents the sequence as found in ATOM and HETATM records.

SEQADV

Overview

The SEQADV record identifies conflicts between sequence information in the ATOM records of the PDB entry and the sequence database entry given on DBREF. Please note that these records were designed to identify differences and not errors. No assumption is made as to which database contains the correct data. PDB may include REMARK records in the entry that reflect the depositor's view of which database has the correct sequence.

50 - 70        LString         conflict       Conflict comment.                

Details

* For cases where there are gaps in the structure as reflected in missing ATOM records, SEQADV records are produced which reflect the lack of correlation between the chain and the sequence database entry. (Several DBREF records are also produced.) Note that internal structural gaps are represented in SEQADV records, whereas missing N-terminus and C-terminus residues are delineated in REMARK 999 records

* If the missing N-terminus residues were not found in the density map, the PDB will attempt to flag these as SEQADV records. However, we cannot guarantee that they will always be handled uniformly since, in a number of cases, neither PDB nor the depositors are certain where chains start and end.

* In a number of cases, conflicts between the sequences found in PDB entries and in PIR or SWISS-PROT entries have been noted. There are several possible reasons for these conflicts, including natural variants or engineered sequences (mutants), polymorphic sequences, or ambiguous or conflicting experimental results. These discrepancies, which were previously described in REMARK records, are now reported in SEQADV.

* SEQADV describes conflicts between residue sequences given by PDB ATOM/HETATM records and those in the appropriate sequence database entry, such as residues missing due to disorder.

* This record will give a description of the differences between the sequence database entries and complete chains. If a chain is referenced by more than one sequence database entry, as in the case of fused genes, then SEQADV will describe the relationship between each chain segment.

* Some of the possible conflict comments:

Cloning artifact
Conflict
Engineered
Disordered
Gap in PDB entry
Missing from [database name]
Variant
Insertion
Deletion
Microheterogeneity
D-configuration

* When conflicts arise which are not classifiable by these terms, a reference to either a published paper, a PDB entry, or a REMARK within the entry is given. References are given in the form YY-VOL-PAGE-CODEN where YY is year of publication, VOL is the journal volume number, PAGE is the starting page and CODEN is the 4-digit code assigned to journals by PDB and the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC).

* When reference is made to a PDB entry, then the form is PDB: 1ABC, where 1ABC is the relevant entry ID code.

* Finally, the comment "SEE REMARK 999" is included when the explanation for the conflict is too long to fit the SEQADV record.

* Microheterogeneity is to be represented as a variant with one of the possible residues in the site being selected (arbitrarily) as the primary residue, in which case a SEQADV record must be provided for the alternate residue.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

SEQADV records are automatically generated by the PDB.

Relationships to Other Record Types

SEQADV refers to the sequence as found in the ATOM and HETATM records, and to the sequence database reference found on DBREF.

REMARK 999 contains text explaining discrepancies when the explanation is too lengthy to fit in SEQADV.

Details

* PDB entries use the three-letter abbreviation for amino acid names and the one letter code for nucleic acids.

* In the case of non-standard groups, a hetID of up to three (3) alphanumeric characters is used. Common HET names appear in the HET dictionary.

* Each covalently contiguous sequence of residues (connected via the "backbone" atoms) is represented as an individual chain.

* Heterogens which are integrated into the backbone of the chain are listed as being part of the chain and are included in the SEQRES records for that chain.

* Each set of SEQRES records and each HET group is assigned a component number. The component number is assigned serially beginning with 1 for the first set of SEQRES records. This number is given explicitly in the FORMUL record, but only implicitly in the SEQRES record.

* The SEQRES records must list residues present in the molecule studied, even if the coordinates are not present.

* C- and N-terminus residues for which no coordinates are provided due to disorder must be listed on SEQRES.

* All occurrences of standard amino or nucleic acid residues (ATOM records) must be listed on a SEQRES record. This implies that a numRes of 1 is valid.

* No distinction is made between ribo- and deoxyribonucleotides in the SEQRES records. These residues are identified with the same residue name (i.e., A, C, G, T, U, I).

* If the entire residue sequence is unknown, the serNum in column 10 is "0", the number of residues thought to comprise the molecule is entered as numRes in columns 14 - 17, and resName in columns 20 - 22 is "UNK".

* In case of microheterogeneity, only one of the sequences is presented. A REMARK is generated to explain this and a SEQADV is also generated.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

The residues presented on the SEQRES records must agree with those found in the ATOM records.

The SEQRES records are checked by PDB using the sequence databases and information provided by the depositor.

SEQRES is compared to the ATOM records during processing, and both are checked against the sequence database. All discrepancies are either resolved or annotated in the entry.

Relationships to Other Record Types

The residues presented on the SEQRES records must agree with those found in the ATOM records. DBREF refers to the corresponding entry in the sequence databases. SEQADV lists all discrepancies between the entry's sequence for which there are coordinates and that referenced in the sequence database. MODRES describes modifications to a standard residue.

Known Problems

Polysaccharides do not lend themselves to being represented in SEQRES.

There is no mechanism provided to describe sequence runs when the exact ordering of the sequence is not known.

For cyclic peptides, PDB arbitrarily assigns a residue as the N-terminus.

For microheterogeneity only one of the possible residues in a given position is provided in SEQRES.

No distinction is made between ribo- and deoxyribonucleotides in the SEQRES records. These residues are identified with the same residue name (i.e., A, C, G, T, U).


MODRES

Overview

The MODRES record provides descriptions of modifications (e.g., chemical or post-translational) to protein and nucleic acid residues. Included are a mapping between residue names given in a PDB entry and standard residues.

Details

* Residues modified post-translationally, enzymatically, or by design are described in MODRES records. In those cases where PDB has opted to use a non-standard residue name for the residue, MODRES also provides a mapping to the precursor standard residue name.

* MODRES is mandatory for when modified standard residues exist in the entry.

* Examples of some modification descriptions:

Glycosylation site
Post-translational modification
Designed chemical modification
Phosphorylation site
Blocked N-terminus
Aminated C-terminus
D-configuration
Reduced peptide bond

* MODRES is not required if coordinate records are not provided for the modified residue.

* D-amino acids are given their own resName , i.e., DAL for D-alanine. This resName appears in the SEQRES records, and has the associated SEQADV, MODRES, HET, and FORMUL records. The coordinates are given as HETATMs within the ATOM records and occur in the correct order within the chain. This ordering is an exception to the stated Order of Records.

* When a standard residue name is used to describe a modified site, resName (columns 13-15) and stdRES (columns 25-27) contain the same value.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

MODRES is generated by the PDB.

Relationships to Other Record Types

MODRES maps ATOM and HETATM records to the standard residue names. SEQADV, HET, and FORMUL may also appear.

Known Problems

Mapping between SEQRES and MODRES residue numbers when the numbering is non-sequential has to be constructed using DBREF, SEQRES, and SEQADV.

HET records are used to describe non-standard residues, such as prosthetic groups, inhibitors, solvent molecules, and ions for which coordinates are supplied. Groups are considered HET if they are:

- not one of the standard amino acids, and
- not one of the nucleic acids (C, G, A, T, U, and I), and
- not one of the modified versions of nucleic acids (+C, +G, +A, +T, +U, and +I), and
- not an unknown amino acid or nucleic acid where UNK is used to indicate the unknown residue name.

Het records also describe heterogens for which the chemical identity is unknown, in which case the group is assigned the hetID UNK.

31 - 70        String          text          Text describing Het group.          

Details

* Each HET group is assigned a hetID of not more than three (3) alphanumeric characters. The sequence number, chain identifier, insertion code, and number of coordinate records are given for each occurrence of the HET group in the entry. The chemical name of the HET group is given in the HETNAM record and synonyms for the chemical name are given in the HETSYN records.

* There is a separate HET record for each occurrence of the HET group in an entry.

* A particular HET group is represented in the PDB archives with a unique hetID.

* PDB entries do not have HET records for water molecules.

* The Text field is for descriptive material. The token PART_OF followed by a value may be used to indicate that the HET group is part of a larger group which has been represented by its separate components (e.g., PART_OF: actinomycin). Segment identifiers, columns 73 - 76 of ATOM/HETATM records, may also be used to relate individual components of a large HET group.

* Unknown atoms or ions will be represented as UNX with the chemical formula X1.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

For each het group that appears in the entry, PDB checks that the corresponding HET, HETNAM, HETSYN, FORMUL, HETATM, and CONECT records appear, if applicable. The HET record is generated automatically by PDB using the het group dictionary and information from the HETATM records.

Each unique hetID represents a unique molecule.

Relationships to Other Record Types

For each het group that appears in the entry, the corresponding HET, HETNAM, HETSYN, FORMUL, HETATM, and CONECT records must appear, if applicable. LINK records may also appear.

HET    UNX  A 163       1     PSEUDO CARBON ATOM OF UNKNOWN LIGAND

Known Problems

Even though groups may be chemically bound to others with loss of atoms (e.g., H, O), the PDB has only one representation for the complete molecule. However, a few small groups are represented separately as ions, groups, and molecules.

PDB does not include CAS registry and Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) accession numbers.

Large het groups are broken into recognizable sub-groups to obviate difficulties associated with the limitations of the atom naming conventions used by the PDB. The description of how to reassemble the full molecule is addressed in a REMARK. The token PART_OF and use of segment identifiers may help to describe the larger entity.


HETNAM

Overview

This record gives the chemical name of the compound with the given hetID.

Details

* Each hetID is assigned a unique chemical name for the HETNAM record.

* Other names for the group are given on HETSYN records.

* PDB follows IUPAC/IUB naming conventions to describe groups systematically.

* Continuation of chemical names onto subsequent records is allowed.

* Only one HETNAM record is included for a given hetID, even if the same hetID appears on more than one HET record.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

For each het group that appears in the entry, the corresponding HET, HETNAM, FORMUL, HETATM and CONECT records must appear. The HETNAM record is generated automatically by PDB using the het group dictionary and information from HETATM records.

Relationships to Other Record Types

For each het group that appears in the entry, the corresponding HET, HETNAM, FORMUL, HETATM, and CONECT records must appear. HETSYN and LINK records may also appear.

Details

* This is not guaranteed to be a complete list of possible synonyms, but is uniform across the PDB. New synonyms may be added. The list can be continued onto additional HETSYN records. Even if the same hetID appears on more than one HET record, only one set of HETSYN records is included for the hetID.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

For each HETSYN record in the entry, the corresponding HET, HETNAM, FORMUL, HETATM and CONECT records must appear.

Relationships to Other Record Types

If there is a HETSYN record there must be corresponding HET, HETNAM, FORMUL, HETATM, and CONECT records. LINK records may also appear.

Details

* The elements of the chemical formula are given in the order C, H, N, and O, with other elements following in alphabetical order, each separated by a single blank.

* The number of each atom type present immediately follows its chemical symbol with no intervening blank.

* Each set of SEQRES records and each HET group is assigned a component number in an entry. These numbers are assigned serially, beginning with 1 for the first set of SEQRES records. In addition:

- If a HET group is presented on a SEQRES record its FORMUL is assigned the component number of the chain in which it appears.
- If the HET group occurs more than once and is not presented on SEQRES records, the component number of its first occurrence is used.

* All occurrences of the HET group within a chain are grouped together with a multiplier. The remaining occurrences are also grouped with a multiplier. The sum of the multipliers is the number equaling the number of times that that HET group appears in the entry.

* The "*" in column 19 is used if the HET group is water or UNX, indicating that it should be excluded from the molecular weight calculation.

* A continuation field is provided in the event that more space is needed for the formula. Columns 17 - 18 are used in order to maintain continuity with the existing format.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

For each het group that appears in the entry, the corresponding HET, HETNAM, FORMUL, HETATM, and CONECT records must appear. The FORMUL record is generated automatically by PDB processing programs using the het group template file and information from HETATM records.

Relationships to Other Record Types

For each het group that appears in the entry, the corresponding HET, HETNAM, FORMUL, HETATM, and CONECT records must appear.

Details

* Additional HELIX records with different serial numbers and identifiers occur if more than one helix is present.

* The initial residue is the N-terminal residue of the helix.

* Helices are classified as follows:

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

HELIX records are now being generated automatically by PDB using the Kabsch and Sander algorithm [Kabsch and Sander, Biopolymers 22: 2577-2637 (1983)], although they may be provided by the depositor instead. PDB verifies that named residues exist in the ATOM records.

Details

* The initial residue for a strand is its N-terminus. Strand registration information is provided in columns 39 - 70. Strands are listed starting with one edge of the sheet and continuing to the spatially adjacent strand.

* The sense in columns 39 - 40 indicates whether strand n is parallel (sense = 1) or anti-parallel (sense = -1) to strand n-1. Sense is equal to zero (0) for the first strand of a sheet.

* The registration (columns 42 - 70) of strand n to strand n-1 may be specified by one hydrogen bond between each such pair of strands. This is done by providing the hydrogen bonding between the current and previous strands. No registration information should be provided for the first strand.

* For structures which form a closed sheet (beta-barrel), the first strand is repeated as the last strand. An explanatory remark is included in the REMARK section.

* Split strands, or strands with two or more runs of residues from discontinuous parts of the amino acid sequence, are explicitly listed. Provide a description to be included in the REMARK section.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

SHEET records are now being generated automatically by PDB using the Kabsch and Sander algorithm [Kabsch and Sander, Biopolymers 22: 2577-2637 (1983)], although they may be provided by the depositor instead. PDB verifies that named residues exist in the ATOM records.

Relationships to Other Record Types

If the entry contains bifurcated sheets or beta-barrels, the relevant REMARK records must be provided. See the REMARK section for details.

Details

* Turns include those sets of residues which form beta turns, i.e., have a hydrogen bond linking (C-O)i to (N-H)i+3. Turns which link residue i to i+2 (gamma-bends) may also be included. Others may be also be classified as turns.

* The initial residue is the N-terminus.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

The validation program checks the number of residues in the given turn. PDB verifies that named residues exist in the ATOM records.

6. Connectivity Annotation Section

The connectivity annotation section allows the depositors to specify the existence and location of disulfide bonds and other linkages.


SSBOND

Overview

The SSBOND record identifies each disulfide bond in protein and polypeptide structures by identifying the two residues involved in the bond.

Details

* Bond distances between the sulfur atoms must be close to expected values.

* The cysteine closer to the N-terminal is listed first in each intra-chain pair. The cysteine which occurs first in the coordinate entry is listed first for inter-chain pairs.

* sym1 and sym2 are given as blank when the identity operator (and no cell translation) is to be applied to the residue.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

PDB processing programs generate these records automatically. If the depositor supplies these records, they are compared to those generated and the depositor is notified of any differences.

Relationships to Other Record Types

CONECT records are generated for the disulfide bonds when SG atoms of both cysteines are present in the coordinate records. If symmetry operators are given to generate one of the residues involved in the disulfide bond, REMARK290 defines the symmetry transformation.

Known Problems

If SG of cysteine is disordered then there are possible alternate linkages. PDB's practice is to put together all possible SSBOND records. This is problematic because the alternate location identifier is not specified in the SSBOND record.


LINK

Overview

The LINK records specify connectivity between residues that is not implied by the primary structure. Connectivity is expressed in terms of the atom names. This record supplements information given in CONECT records and is provided here for convenience in searching.

Details

* The atoms involved in bonds between HET groups or between a HET group and standard residue are listed.

* Interresidue linkages not implied by the primary structure are listed (e.g., reduced peptide bond).

* Non-standard linkages between residues, e.g., side-chain to side-chain, are listed.

* Each LINK record specifies one linkage.

* These records do not specify connectivity within a HET group (see CONECT), hydrogen bonds (see HYDBND), or disulfide bridges (see SSBOND).

* Hydrogen bonds and salt bridges are described on HYDBND and SLTBRG records, respectively.

* sym1 and sym2 are given as blank when the identity operator (and no cell translation) is to be applied to the atom.

* For NMR entries only one set (or model) of LINK records will be supplied.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

The distance between the pair of atoms listed must be consistent with the bonding.

Relationships to Other Record Types

CONECT records are generated from LINKs when both atoms are present in the entry. If symmetry operators are given to generate one of the residues involved in the bond, REMARK 290 defines the symmetry transformation.

Details

* The hydrogen bonds listed normally are those supplied by the depositor.

* The atoms forming the hydrogen bond are listed on the HYDBND record.

* Each record has place for three atom specifications.

* Columns 13 - 28 and 44 - 59 are for the atoms associated with the hydrogen atom of the hydrogen bond.

* If the coordinates of the hydrogen atom itself are presented in the entry, that atom is specified in columns 30 - 42.

* For nucleic acids, Watson-Crick hydrogen bonds between bases may be listed, but this is optional.

* sym1 and sym2 are given as blank when the identity operator (and no cell translation) is to be applied to the atom. For hydrogen atoms use the symmetry operator of the heavy atom to which it is bonded.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

The distance between the atoms listed must be consistent with the bonding.

Relationships to Other Record Types

CONECT records are generated consistent with the bond type. If symmetry operators are given to generate one of the residues involved in the hydrogen bond, REMARK200 defines the symmetry transformation.

                                           degrees.

Details

* Cis peptides are those with omega angles of 0°±30°. Deviations larger than 30° are listed in REMARK 500.

* Each cis peptide is listed on a separate line, with an incrementally ascending sequence number.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

PDB generates these records automatically, however, the depositor may wish to list cis peptides at the time of submission.

Relationships to Other Record Types

CISPEP is replacing the footnote which previously contained this information.

Peptide bonds which deviate significantly from either cis or trans conformation are annotated in REMARK 500.

Details

* Site records specify residues comprising catalytic, cofactor, anticodon, regulatory or other important sites.

* The sequence number (columns 8 - 10) is reset to 1 for each new site.

* SITE identifiers (columns 12 - 14) should be fully explained in a remark.

* If a site is comprised of more than four residues, these may be specified on additional records bearing the same site identifier.

* SITE records can include HET groups.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

Every SITE must have a corresponding remark that describes it. The numbering of sequential SITE records and format of each one is verified, as well as the existence of each residue in the ATOM records.

Relationships to Other Record Types

Each listed SITE needs a corresponding REMARK 800 that details its significance.

8. Crystallographic and Coordinate Transformation Section

The Crystallographic Section describes the geometry of the crystallographic experiment and the coordinate system transformations.


CRYST1

Overview

The CRYST1 record presents the unit cell parameters, space group, and Z value. If the structure was not determined by crystallographic means, CRYST1 simply defines a unit cube.

67 - 70       Integer        z             Z value.           

Details

* If the coordinate entry describes a structure determined by a technique other than crystallography, CRYST1 contains a = b = c = 1.0, alpha = beta = gamma = 90 degrees, space group = P 1, and Z = 1.

* The Hermann-Mauguin space group symbol is given without parenthesis, e.g., P 43 21 2. Please note that the screw axis is described as a two digit number.

* The full international Hermann-Mauguin symbol is used, e.g., P 1 21 1 instead of P 21.

* For a rhombohedral space group in the hexagonal setting, the lattice type symbol used is H.

* The Z value is the number of polymeric chains in a unit cell. In the case of heteropolymers, Z is the number of occurrences of the most populous chain.

As an example, given two chains A and B, each with a different sequence, and the space group P 2 that has two equipoints in the standard unit cell, the following table gives the correct Z value.

* In the case of a polycrystalline fiber diffraction study, CRYST1 and SCALE contain the normal unit cell data.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

The given space group and Z values are checked during processing for correctness and internal consistency. The calculated SCALE is compared to that supplied by the depositor. Packing is also computed, and close contacts of symmetry-related molecules are diagnosed.

Relationships to Other Record Types

The unit cell parameters are used to calculate SCALE. If the EXPDTA record is NMR, THEORETICAL MODEL, or FIBER DIFFRACTION, FIBER, the CRYST1 record is predefined as a = b = c = 1.0, alpha = beta = gamma = 90 degrees, space group = P 1 and Z = 1. In these cases, an explanatory REMARK must also appear in the entry. Some fiber diffraction structures will be done this way, while others will have a CRYST1 record containing measured values.

ORIGXn

Overview

The ORIGXn (n = 1, 2, or 3) records present the transformation from the orthogonal coordinates contained in the entry to the submitted coordinates.

Details

* The PDB supplies this information even if the transformation is an identity transformation (unit matrix, null vector). See the SCALE section of this document for a definition of the default orthogonal Angstroms system.

* If the original submitted coordinates are Xsub, Ysub, Zsub and the orthogonal Angstroms coordinates contained in the data entry are X, Y, Z, then:

Xsub = O11X + O12Y + O13Z + T1
Ysub = O21X + O22Y + O23Z + T2
Zsub = O31X + O32Y + O33Z + T3

* Appendix 2 details the derivation of the ORIGX coordinate transformation.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

If the coordinates are submitted in the same orthogonal Angstrom coordinate frame as they appear in the entry (the usual case), then ORIGX is an identity matrix with a null translation vector. If the transformation is not an identity matrix with a null translation vector, then applying this transformation to the coordinates in the entry yields the coordinates in the original deposited file.

Relationships to Other Record Types

ORIGX relates the coordinates in the ATOM and HETATM records to the coordinates in the submitted file.

Details

* The standard orthogonal Angstroms coordinate system used by the PDB is related to the axial system of the unit cell supplied (CRYST1 record) by the following definition:

* If vector a, vector b, vector c describe the crystallographic cell edges, and vector A, vector B, vector C are unit cell vectors in the default orthogonal Angstroms system, then vector A, vector B, vector C and vector a, vector b, vector c have the same origin; vector A is parallel to vector a, vector B is parallel to vector C times vector A, and vector C is parallel to vector a times vector b (i.e., vector c*).

* If the orthogonal Angstroms coordinates are X, Y, Z, and the fractional cell coordinates are xfrac, yfrac, zfrac, then:

xfrac = S11X + S12Y + S13Z + U1
yfrac = S21X + S22Y + S23Z + U2
zfrac = S31X + S32Y + S33Z + U3

* For NMR, fiber diffraction - fiber sample, and theoretical model entries, SCALE is given as an identity matrix with no translation.

* Appendix 2 details the derivation of the SCALE coordinate transformation.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

The inverse of the determinant of the SCALE matrix equals the volume of the cell. This volume is calculated and compared to the SCALE matrix supplied by the depositor.

Relationships to Other Record Types

The SCALE transformation is related to the CRYST1 record, as the inverse of the determinant of the SCALE matrix equals the cell volume.

Details

* The MTRIX transformations operate on the coordinates in the entry to yield equivalent representations of the molecule in the same coordinate frame. One trio of MTRIX records with a constant serial number is given for each non-crystallographic symmetry operation defined. If coordinates for the representations which are approximately related by the given transformation are contained in the file, the iGiven field is set to 1. Otherwise, this field is blank.

* A corresponding REMARK must appear which describes the transformation.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

The PDB verifies all MTRIX records by applying the given transformation and determining the RMSD between the calculated and supplied coordinates if iGiven is equal to 1. If iGiven is blank, PDB verifies MTRIX by checking the packing of the generated molecules.

Relationships to Other Record Types

A corresponding REMARK must appear which describes the transformation.

9. Coordinate Section

The Coordinate Section contains the collection of atomic coordinates as well as the MODEL and ENDMDL records.


MODEL

Overview

The MODEL record specifies the model serial number when multiple structures are presented in a single coordinate entry, as is often the case with structures determined by NMR.

Record Format

COLUMNS       DATA TYPE      FIELD         DEFINITION

11 - 14       Integer        serial        Model serial number.                  

Details

* This record is used only when more than one model appears in an entry. Generally, it is employed only for NMR structures. The chemical connectivity should be the same for each model. ATOM, HETATM, SIGATM, SIGUIJ, ANISOU, and TER records for each model structure are interspersed as needed between MODEL and ENDMDL records.

* The numbering of models is sequential beginning with 1.

* If a collection contains more than 99,999 total atoms, then more than one entry must be made. In such a case the collection is divided between models (between an ENDMDL and the following MODEL record) and the model numbering is sequential throughout such a set of entries.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

Entries with multiple structures in the EXPDTA record are checked for corresponding pairs of MODEL/ENDMDL records, and for consecutively numbered models.

Relationships to Other Record Types

Each MODEL must have a corresponding ENDMDL record.

In the case of an NMR entry the EXPDTA record states the number of model structures that are present in the individual entry.

* If more than one model is present in the entry, each model is delimited by MODEL and ENDMDL records.

* For more information on atom naming conventions, see Appendix 3, and for residue names, see Appendix 4 and the HET section of this document

* If an atom is provided in more than one position, then a non-blank alternate location indicator must be used as the alternate location indicator for each of the positions. Within a residue all atoms that are associated with each other in a given conformation are assigned the same alternate position indicator.

* For atoms that are in alternate sites indicated by the alternate site indicator, sorting of atoms in the ATOM/HETATM list uses the following general rules:

- In the simple case that involves a few atoms or a few residues with alternate sites, the coordinates occur one after the other in the entry.
- In the case of a whole macromolecular chain, or significant portion of a chain, having alternate sites, the atoms for each alternate position are listed together. The two conformers are delineated by MODEL/ENDMDL records. In this case each MODEL must represent the entire molecular assemblage, including any heterogen group which is not necessarily disordered. Such is the case when DNA molecules are placed in UP and DOWN positions.
- In the case of a large heterogen groups which are disordered, the atoms for each conformer are listed together. The two lists are not separated by MODEL/ENDMDL as is done for macromolecular chains.

* Addition of atoms to side chains of standard residues are handled as follows:

The additional atoms (modifying group) are represented as a HET group which is assigned its own residue name. The chainID, sequence number, and insertion code assigned to the HET group is that of the standard residue to which it is attached.

* Chemical modifications of standard residue side chains by addition of new atoms are handled as follows:

- The new atoms are represented as a HET group. This group is assigned the chain name, sequence number, and insertion code of the standard residue that it modifies.
- The atoms comprising these het groups are listed as HETATM and are inserted in the ATOM list immediately after the TER record of the chain. These groups are listed in the same order as the standard residue to which they are bonded (i.e., from the N- to C-terminus for polypeptides and from the 5' to 3' end for nucleic acids).
- Modified standard residues and the modifying het group may be assigned the same SEGID to further describe the relationship between the groups. PDB will use this mechanism only if SEGID's were not assigned to these atoms for other purposes.
- Modified standard residues must have a corresponding MODRES record.

* The insertion code is commonly used in sequence numbering and is described here. In most cases, the amino acids that comprise a protein are numbered sequentially starting with 1. However, there are a number of situations that may give rise to different numbering schemes:

- Homologous proteins can exist in a number of different species. Depositors may use a residue numbering scheme in order to preserve the homology. The reference protein may be numbered sequentially starting with 1, then the homologous protein from another species aligned to it. If residues are not present in the homologous sequence, residue numbers may be skipped so that alignment can be preserved. If additional residues are present relative to the reference protein, they may have a letter, called an insertion code, appended to the sequence number. Negative numbers and zeros are permitted if they are needed to align the N-terminus.

- The numbering of a proenzyme may be used for the enzyme following cleavage.
- The molecule studied might be a portion of the whole protein. The residue numbering scheme could show the relationship to the intact protein.
- The protein might be a mutant with residues inserted and deleted. As above, the residue numbering of the native protein could be preserved by appropriate use of gaps in the numbering and/or insertion codes.
- The nucleic acid community generally numbers structures sequentially. For double-stranded nucleic acids, entries usually use two different chain identifiers. For example, an octameric duplex would be numbered 1 - 8 for chain A, and 9 - 16 for chain B.

* If the depositor provides the data, then the isotropic B value is given for the temperature factor.

* If there is no isotropic B value from the depositor, but there is an ANISOU record with anisotropic temperature factors, then the B equivalent is stored in the tempFactor field, as calculated by:

B(eq) = 8pi**2{1/3[U(1,1) + U(2,2) + U(3,3)]}
- This will obviate the need to check if ANISOU records are present before interpreting the contents of the temperature factor field.
- In some previously released PDB entries with anisotropic temperature factors provided as ANISOU records, the temperature factor field of the corresponding ATOM or HETATM record contained the equivalent U-isotropic [U(eq)] which is calculated by:
U(eq) = 1/3[U(1,1) + U(2,2) + U(3,3)] x 10**-4

* If there are neither isotropic B values from the depositor, nor anisotropic temperature factors in ANISOU, then the default value of 0.0 is used for the temperature factor.

* In some entries, the occupancy and temperature factor fields are used for other quantities. In these cases, an explanation is provided in the remarks.

* Columns 73 - 76 identify specific segments of the molecule. The segment id is a string of up to four (4) alphanumeric characters, left-justified, and may include a space, e.g., CH86, A 1, NASE. The segment itself may consist of a complete chain or a portion of a chain. The importance of this new field can be appreciated if one considers an antibody structure having two molecules in the asymmetric unit. Since each chain must have a unique chain identifier, the two heavy chains and two light chains cannot currently be labeled to indicate their nature. Segment id's of CH, VH1, VH2, VH3, CL, and VL would clearly identify regions of the chains and the relationship between them. Users of X-PLOR will be familiar with SEGID as used in the refinement application of X-PLOR.

* Columns 77 - 78 contain the atom's element symbol (as given in the periodic table), right-justified. This is especially needed because in some cases it has not been possible to follow the convention that columns 13 - 14 of the atom name contain the element symbol. The most common cases are:

- In large het groups it sometimes is not possible to follow the convention of having the first two characters be the chemical symbol and still use atom names that are meaningful to users. A example is nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, atom names begin with an A or N, depending on which portion of the molecule they appear in, e.g., AC6 or NC6, AN1 or NN1.
- Hydrogen naming sometimes conflicts with IUPAC conventions. For example, a hydrogen named HG11 in columns 13 - 16 is differentiated from a mercury atom by the element symbol in columns 77 - 78. Columns 13 - 16 present a unique name for each atom.

* Columns 79 - 80 indicate any charge on the atom, e.g., 2+, 1-. In most cases these are blank.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

PDB checks ATOM/HETATM records for PDB format, sequence information, and packing. The PDB reserves the right to return deposited coordinates to the author for transformation into PDB format.

PDB intends to verify the coordinates against the experimental structure factor data in the when available. Details on this will be forthcoming.

Relationships to Other Record Types

The ATOM records are compared to the corresponding sequence database. Residue discrepancies appear in the SEQADV record. Missing atoms are annotated in the remarks. HETATM records are formatted in the same way as ATOM records. The sequence implied by ATOM records must be identical to that given in SEQRES, with the exception that residues that have no coordinates, e.g., due to disorder, must appear in SEQRES. Remark 550 is used to describe the meaning assigned to any segment identifiers used.

Known Problems

Due to the ever-increasing size of protein structures in the PDB, the atom serial number field may soon need to be increased. An increase of one column will allow for cases where entries have more than 99,999 atoms. Only 5 digits are available for the atom serial number, but some structures have already been received with more that 99,999 atoms.

No distinction is made between ribo- and deoxyribonucleotides in the SEQRES records. These residues are identified with the same residue name (i.e., A, C, G, T, U).

Details

* Columns 7 - 27 and 73 - 80 are identical to the corresponding ATOM/HETATM record.

* SIGUIJ are listed only if they have been provided by the depositor and only if they are not zero (0).

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

The depositor provides SIGUIJ records, PDB verifies their format.

Relationships to Other Record Types

The standard deviations for the anisotropic temperature factors are related to the corresponding ATOM/HETATM ANISOU temperature factors.

TER

Overview

The TER record indicates the end of a list of ATOM/HETATM records for a chain.

27              AChar             iCode        Insertion code.     

Details

* Every chain of ATOM/HETATM records presented on SEQRES records is terminated with a TER record.

* The TER records occur in the coordinate section of the entry, and indicate the last residue presented for each polypeptide and/or nucleic acid chain for which there are coordinates. For proteins, the residue defined on the TER record is the carboxy-terminal residue; for nucleic acids it is the 3'-terminal residue.

* For a cyclic molecule, the choice of termini is arbitrary.

* Terminal oxygen atoms are presented as OXT for proteins, and as O5T or O3T for nucleic acids.

* The TER record has the same residue name, chain identifier, sequence number and insertion code as the terminal residue. The serial number of the TER record is one number greater than the serial number of the ATOM/HETATM preceding the TER.

* For chains with gaps due to disorder, it is recommended that the C-terminus atoms be labelled O and OXT, and a REMARK explaining the ambiguity be provided.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

TER must appear at the end carboxy or 3' of a chain. For proteins, there is usually a terminal oxygen, labeled OXT. The validation program checks for the occurrence of TER and OXT records.

Relationships to Other Record Types

The residue name appearing on the TER record must be the same as the residue name of the immediately preceding ATOM or non-water HETATM record.

Details

* The x, y, z coordinates are in Angstrom units.

* Disordered solvents may be represented by the residue name DIS.

* No ordering is specified for polysaccharides.

* See the HET section of this document regarding naming of heterogens. See the HET dictionary for residue names, formulas, and CONECT records of the HET groups that have appeared so far in the PDB.

* For atoms that are in alternate sites indicated by the alternate site indicator, sorting of atoms in the ATOM/HETATM list uses the following general rules:

- In the simple case that involves a few atoms or a few residues with alternate sites, the coordinates occur one after the other in the entry.
- In the case of a whole macromolecular chain, or significant portion of a chain, having alternate sites, the atoms for each alternate position are listed together. The two conformers are delineated by MODEL/ENDMDL records. In this case each MODEL must represent the entire molecular assemblage, including any heterogen group which is not necessarily disordered. Such is the case when DNA molecules are placed in UP and DOWN positions.
- In the case of a large heterogen groups which are disordered, the atoms for each conformer are listed together. The two lists are not separated by MODEL/ENDMDL as is done for macromolecular chains.

* If the depositor provides the data, then the isotropic B value is given for the temperature factor.

* If there is no isotropic B value from the depositor, but there is an ANISOU record with anisotropic temperature factors, then the B equivalent is stored in the tempFactor field, as calculated by:

B(eq) = 8pi**2{1/3[U(1,1) + U(2,2) + U(3,3)]}
- This will obviate the need to check if ANISOU records are present before interpreting the contents of the temperature factor field.
- In some previously released PDB entries with anisotropic temperature factors provided as ANISOU records, the temperature factor field of the corresponding ATOM or HETATM record contained the equivalent U-isotropic [U(eq)] which is calculated by:
U(eq) = 1/3[U(1,1) + U(2,2) + U(3,3)] x 10**-4

* If there are neither isotropic B values from the depositor, nor anisotropic temperature factors in ANISOU, then the default value of 0.0 is used for the temperature factor.

* In some entries, the occupancy and temperature factor fields are often used for other quantities. In these cases, an explanation is provided in the remarks.

* Insertion codes, segment id, and element naming are fully described in the ATOM section of this document.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

PDB processing programs check ATOM/HETATM records for PDB format, sequence information, and packing. The PDB reserves the right to return deposited coordinates to the author for transformation into PDB format.

Relationships to Other Record Types

HETATM records must have corresponding HET, HETNAM, FORMUL and CONECT records, except for waters.

ENDMDL

Overview

The ENDMDL records are paired with MODEL records to group individual structures found in a coordinate entry.

------------------------------------------------------------------
 1 -  6         Record name      "ENDMDL"                         

Details

* MODEL/ENDMDL records are used only when more than one structure is presented in the entry, as is often the case with NMR entries.

* All the models in a multi-model entry must represent the same structure.

* Every MODEL record has an associated ENDMDL record.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

Entries with multiple structures in the EXPDTA record are checked for corresponding pairs of MODEL/ENDMDL records, and for consecutively numbered models.

Relationships to Other Record Types

There must be a corresponding MODEL record.

In the case of an NMR entry the EXPDTA record states the number of model structures that are present in the individual entry.

10. Connectivity Section

This section provides information on chemical connectivity. LINK, HYDBND, SLTBRG, and CISPEP are found in the Connectivity Annotation section.


CONECT

Overview

The CONECT records specify connectivity between atoms for which coordinates are supplied. The connectivity is described using the atom serial number as found in the entry. CONECT records are mandatory for HET groups (excluding water) and for other bonds not specified in the standard residue connectivity table which involve atoms in standard residues (see Appendix 4 for the list of standard residues). These records are generated by the PDB.

Details

* Intra-residue connectivity within non-standard (HET) residues (excluding water) is presented on the CONECT records.

* Inter-residue connectivity of HET groups to standard groups (including water) or to other HET groups are represented on the CONECT records.

* Disulfide bridges specified in the SSBOND records have corresponding CONECT records.

* Hydrogen bonds and salt bridges have CONECT records.

* No differentiation is made between donor and acceptor for hydrogen bonds.

* No differentiation is made between atoms with excess negative or positive charge.

* Atoms specified in the connectivity are presented by their serial numbers as found in the entry.

* All atoms connected to the atom with serial number in columns 7 - 11 are listed in the remaining fields of the record.

* If more than four fields are required for non-hydrogen and nonsalt-bridge bonds, a second CONECT record with the same atom serial number in columns 7 - 11 will be used.

* These CONECT records occur in increasing order of the atom serial numbers they carry in columns 7 - 11. The target-atom serial numbers carried on these records also occur in increasing order.

* The connectivity list given here is redundant in that each bond indicated is given twice, once with each of the two atoms involved specified in columns 7 - 11.

* For nucleic acids, Watson-Crick hydrogen bonds between bases may be listed, but this is optional.

* For hydrogen bonds, when the hydrogen atom is present in the coordinates, PDB generates a CONECT record between the hydrogen atom and its acceptor atom.

* For NMR entries, CONECT records for all models are generated describing heterogen connectivity and others for LINK records.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

Connectivity is checked for unusual bond lengths.

Relationships to Other Record Types

CONECT records must be present in an entry that contains either non-standard groups or disulfide bonds.

CONECT 1021  544 1017 1020 1022 1211 1222      1311

Known Problems

Only five digits are available for the atom serial number, but some structures have already been received with more that 99,999 atoms. Changing the field length would make earlier entries incorrect.

CONECTs to atoms whose coordinates are not in the entry (e.g., symmetry-generated) are not given.

Appendix 1: Symmetry Operations

The data type SymOP is used to succinctly describe crystallographic symmetry operations that may be performed on ATOM/HETATM coordinates. Symmetry operators applicable to a given entry are presented in REMARK 290. Each operator is assigned a serial number. The SymOP is a number of up to six (6) digits that indicates the serial number of the symmetry operator and the cell translations along the x, y, and z axes.

The SymOP data type is of the form nnnMMM where 'n' is the serial number of the symmetry operator, and 'MMM' is the concatenated cell translations along x, y, z with respect to the base number 555. Symmetry operators listed in REMARK 290 operate on orthogonal crystallographic coordinates that appear in the entry..

The FORTRAN I3 I3 format statement can be used to interpret nnnMMM.

As an example, the SymOP 2456 indicates that the second symmetry operation as listed in REMARK 290 is applied with translation of -1 on x, and +1 on z. A program will be made available shortly that converts SymOP data into transformations that operate in the coordinate frame used in the entry.

The SymOP data type is used in SSBOND, LINK, HYDBND, SLTBRG and REMARKs.

Appendix 2: Coordinate Systems and Transformations

The coordinates distributed by the Protein Data Bank give the atomic positions measured in Angstroms along three orthogonal directions. Unless otherwise specified, the default axial system detailed below is assumed.

If a, b, c describe the crystallographic cell edges and A, B, C are unit vectors in the default orthogonal Angstrom system, then the following apply.

A, B, C and a, b, c have the same origin.
A is parallel to a.
B is parallel to (a X b) X A (cross product between C and A).
C is parallel to a X b (i.e., c*) (cross product between a and b).

The matrix which pre-multiplies the column vector of the fractional crystallographic coordinates to yield the distributed coordinates in the A, B, C system is:

      a   b(cos(gamma))   c(cos(beta))                                      
      0   b(sin(gamma))   c(cos(alpha) - cos(beta) cos(gamma)) / sin(gamma)
      0   0               V/(ab sin(gamma))                                 

V = abc(1 - cos**2(alpha) - cos**2(beta) - cos**2(gamma) + 2(cos(alpha) cos(beta) cos(gamma)))**1/2

The distributed entry will contain the following records.

ORIGX - transformation from the distributed to the submitted coordinates.
SCALE - transformation from the distributed to the fractional coordinates.

Appendix 3: Atom Names

Amino Acids

The following rules are used in assigning atom names.

* Greek letter remoteness codes are transliterated as follows: alpha = A, beta = B, gamma = G, delta = D, epsilon = E, zeta = Z, eta = H, etc.

* Atoms for which some ambiguity exists in the crystallographic results are designated A. This usually applies only to the terminal atoms of asparagine and glutamine and to the ring atoms of histidine.

* The extra oxygen atom of the carboxy terminal amino acid is designated OXT.

* Six characters (columns) are reserved for atom names, assigned as follows.

   COLUMN     VALUE                                 
   -----------------------------------------------------------------------
   13 - 14    Chemical symbol - right justified, except for hydrogen atoms
   15         Remoteness indicator (alphabetic)      
   16         Branch designator (numeric)            
   77 - 78    Element symbol, right-justified

* Columns 73 - 76 identify specific segments of the molecule. The segment may consist of a complete chain or a portion of a chain. The importance of this new field can be appreciated if one considers an antibody structure having two molecules in the asymmetric unit. Since each chain must have a unique chain identifier, the two heavy chains and two light chains cannot currently be labeled to indicate their nature. Segment id's of CH, VH1, VH2, VH3, CL, and VL would clearly identify regions of the chains and the relationship between them. Users of X-PLOR will be familiar with SEGID as used in the refinement application of X-PLOR.

See the ATOM record for more details on atom naming.

Nucleic Acids

Atom names employed for polynucleotides generally follow the precedent set for mononucleotides. The following points should be noted.

* The asterisk (*) is used in place of the prime character (') for naming atoms of the sugar group. The prime was avoided historically because of non-uniformity of its external representation.

* The ring oxygen of the ribose is denoted O4 rather than O1.

* The extra oxygen atom at the free 5' and 3' termini are designated O5T and O3T, respectively.


Appendix 4: Standard Residue Names and Abbreviations

Note that there will be a change to what are considered standard groups due to the adoption of the new PDB Het Group Dictionary. Only the twenty common amino acids and five nucleic acids plus inosine will be treated as "standard" with all others being treated as modified residues to be described by MODRES records.

No distinction is made between ribo- and deoxyribonucleotides in the SEQRES records. These residues are identified with the same residue name (i.e., A, C, G, T, U, I).

Appendix 6: Field Formats

(This information is repeated from the Introduction.)

Each record type is presented in a table which contains the division of the records into fields by column number, defined data type, field name or a quoted string which must appear in the field, and field definition. Any column not specified must be left blank.

Each field contains an identified data type which can be validated by a program. These are:

DATA TYPE          DESCRIPTION                                                   
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AChar              An alphabetic character (A-Z, a-z).    
Atom               Atom name which follow the naming rules in Appendix 3.        
Character          Any non-control character in the ASCII character set or a     
                   space.                                                       
Continuation       A two-character field that is either blank (for the first     
                   record of a set) or contains a two digit number             
                   right-justified and blank-filled which counts continuation  
                   records starting with 2. The continuation number must be  
                   followed by a blank.                                        
Date               A 9 character string in the form dd-mmm-yy where DD is the    
                   day of the month, zero-filled on the left (e.g., 04); MMM is
                   the common English 3-letter abbreviation of the month; and  
                   YY is a year in the 20th century.  This must represent a    
                   valid date.                                                  
IDcode             A PDB identification code which consists of 4 characters,     
                   the first of which is a digit in the range 0 - 9; the       
                   remaining 3 are alpha-numeric, and letters are upper case   
                   only.  Entries with a 0 as the first character do not       
                   contain coordinate data.                                     
Integer            Right-justified blank-filled integer value.                   
Token              A sequence of non-space characters followed by a colon and a  
                   space.                                                      
List               A String that is composed of text separated with commas.      
LString            A literal string of characters.  All spacing is significant   
                   and must be preserved.                                      
LString(n)         An LString with exactly n characters.                         
Real(n,m)          Real (floating point) number in the FORTRAN format Fn.m.      
Record name        The name of the record: 6 characters, left-justified and      
                   blank-filled.                                               
Residue name       One of the standard amino acid or nucleic acids, as listed    
                   below, or the non-standard group designation as defined in  
                   the HET dictionary. Field is right-justified.               
SList              A String that is composed of text separated with semi-colons. 
Specification      A String composed of a token and its associated value         
                   separated by a colon.                                      
Specification      A sequence of Specifications, separated by semi-colons.       
list                                                                           
String             A sequence of characters.  These characters may have          
                   arbitrary spacing, but should be interpreted as directed    
                   below.                                                      
String(n)          A String with exactly n characters.                           
SymOP              An integer field of from 4 to 6 digits, right-justified, of   
                   the form nnnMMM where nnn is the symmetry operator number   
                   and MMM is the translation vector. See details in Appendix 1.

To interpret a String, concatenate the contents of all continued fields together, collapse all sequences of multiple blanks to a single blank, and remove any leading and trailing blanks. This permits very long strings to be properly reconstructed.


Appendix 7: Order of Records

(This information is repeated from the Introduction.)

All records in a PDB coordinate entry must appear in a defined order. Mandatory record types are present in all entries. When mandatory data are not provided, the record name must appear in the entry with a NULL indicator. Optional items become mandatory when certain conditions exist. Record order and existence are described in the following table:

Note that a PDB file existing outside of the PDB official release may contain locally-defined records beginning with "USER". The PDB reserves the right to add new record types (not beginning with "USER"), so programs which read PDB entries should be prepared to read (and ignore) other record types. PDB will follow standard procedures whenever format changes are proposed.
