15 Aug 2016 PDBe deposition maintenance 26-30 AugThe wwPDB deposition system at PDBe will be unavailable between 26 and 30 August due to essential site maintenance. Depositors from Europe and Africa will be redirected to our RCSB PDB partner site from 22 August until the end of the maintenance to start new deposition sessions. Ongoing depositions at PDBe will not be accessible during the maintenance period (26-30 August). |

09 Aug 2016 wwPDB Validation Server UpgradeThe new wwPDB Validation Server at https://validate.wwpdb.org now generates preliminary validation reports for structures solved by NMR and 3D Electron Microscopy, in addition to X-ray crystallography. wwPDB strongly encourages the use of the Validation Server at any time during the structure determination process, but particularly when preparing structures for deposition to the wwPDB. Validation Server reports provide identical information to the ones generated at deposition. |

31 May 2016 AutoDep, EMDep deposition systems no longer accept new depositionsFrom the 31st May 2016, the legacy deposition systems, AutoDep, ADIT-NMR (BMRB|PDBj) and EMDep, will no longer accept new PDB and EMDB submissions. Depositors with in-progress sessions on the legacy systems will be able to access and complete their deposition sessions until the 25th August 2016 |

26 Apr 2016 Powerful graphics workstation for exploring big imaging dataPDBe’s new high-performance graphics workstation allows its biocurators to work with large-scale 3D electron microscopy datasets, exploring macromolecular structures seamlessly from every angle. |

05 Apr 2016 The big picture - 3D structure from molecules to cellsRecently, a paper describing PDBe’s new volume slicer was published in the Journal of Structural Biology. The slice viewer is a web-based tool that allows scientists to look in detail at 3D bioimaging datasets. It is the first step in the development of an integrated browser that will allow visualisation, integration and analysis of 3D structural data on scales from molecules to cells. The development of this integrated browser is part of PDBe’s MOL2CELL project. Gerard Kleywegt tells you more. |
