Validation Tutorial | Possible Format Problems

Generate Validation Reports to monitor improvements made to your structural model.

Option 1: Validation Report with Detailed Geometry (Plain Text)

Check the format consistency of coordinates (PRECHECK) and run geometric and experimental data checks (VALIDATION) outside of the deposition pipeline. These checks can be done independently by the user.

The report produced by this option includes close contacts, bond deviations, and covalent bond distances and angles.

Method:

X-ray NMR Electron Microscopy

Option 2: Validation Report with High-level Summary (PDF)

Upload your data files to generate a summary PDF that contains high-level geometric and experimental checking results without listing the detailed geometry. This unofficial report is similar to the PDF reports generated for journal submission during deposition.

Upload coordinate file		Select file type:	PDB mmCIF
Upload structure factor file (X-ray only) Use SF-Tool to convert files to mmCIF or mtz format		Select file type:	mmCIF mtz
Select SF Validation Program(s) to include in report: If your refinement program is not listed then select SFCHECK or REFMAC5	SFCHECK REFMAC5 PHENIX         PHENIX X-Ray         PHENIX Neutron Diffraction         PHENIX Hybrid X-Ray/Neutron Diffraction

When you are ready, use ADIT to deposit your entry. A Validation Report PDF that can be shared with journals will be sent to you after processing.

Question, Comments, and suggestions should be sent to deposit@deposit.rcsb.org.
