This is necessary for publication as most journals require a PDB ID to be included in any manuscript that describes a new crystallographic structure. The wwPDB is an invaluable resource that contains over 190,000 structures (as of July 2021).</p> <p><strong>Procedure</strong></p> <p>The model files (PDB and mmCIF) generated by <em>phenix.refine</em> contain the information required when depositing a structure to the wwPDB. However, the wwPDB currently only accepts the mmCIF (i.e., PDBx/mmCIF) model files for deposition.</p> <p>To generate a model file suitable for deposition, we recommend a two-stage process:</p> <ol class="arabic simple"> <li>By default, <em>phenix.refine</em> will output model files in mmCIF and PDB format. If you turned off the option for mmCIF output, run a final cycle of <em>phenix.refine</em> that writes mmCIF files for model and data. This can be set in the Output section of the GUI.</li> <li>You can then process the model file (mmCIF) and a sequence file with <em>mmtbx.prepare_pdb_deposition</em> to create a mmCIF file with the sequence. This program requires the full sequence for the macromolecule to be provided. In the GUI, this program is in the "PDB Deposition" section of tools.</li> </ol> <p><strong>How to use *mmtbx.prepare_pdb_deposition*:</strong> <a class="reference external" href="../reference/prepare_pdb_deposition.html">Click here</a></p> <p><strong>Related programs</strong></p> <ul class="simple"> <li><a class="reference external" href="../reference/get_pdb_validation_report.html">phenix.get_pdb_validation_report</a>: This program submits your model and data in CIF format to the PDB OneDep server to get a validation report in PDF and XML formats.</li> <li><a class="reference external" href="../reference/table_one.html">phenix.table_one</a>: This program generates the table of crystallographic statistics required by most scientific journals.</li> </ul> <p><strong>References</strong></p> <p><ul><li><b>Announcing mandatory submission of PDBx/mmCIF format files for crystallographic depositions to the Protein Data Bank (PDB).</b> P.D.
