  7. Complete and correctly annotated coordinate files • Do PDB files conform to uniform standards? • Yes, Remediated mmcif files are available. They can be converted to PDB format using CIFTr (This application is available at http://deposit.pdb.org/software/) • Do PDB files contain coordinates for the complete biological unit? • Yes, both coordinates and pictures of the biological unit of all PDB files are now available.

  8. What is a biological unit? • PDB has coordinates of molecules determined by: • X-ray crystallography • NMR • Electron microscopy • Theoretical modeling Primary coordinate files for crystallographic structure generally contain one asymmetric (unique) unit. • The biological molecule (also called a biological unit) is the macromolecule that has been shown to be or is believed to be functional. This could include one, a part of or multiple asymmetric units.

  9. Concept of the biological unit Biological unit Biological unit could include one, a part of or multiple asymmetric units.

  10. Downloading biological unit images/ coordinate files from the PDB Information for constructing the biological unit is contained in remark 350 of the PDB file PDB ID 1AEW

  11. Visualizing the biological unit Some visualization tools fail to duplicate the secondary structure records for symmetry related molecules in the biological unit Biological unit of 1AEW Viewed in RasMol

  12. 3 2 5 Large macromolecular assembly 1: Viruses • For viruses, usually the coordinates of the icosohedralasymmetric unit are deposited to the PDB. Transformation matrices for generating the complete virus are also provided. • Sometimes additional matrices are provided to generate the icosohedral asymmetric unit from the given coordinates Virus particles have high symmetry (5, 3, 2)

  13. Generating the biological unit of a virus Coordinates in crystallographic Symmetry axes Coordinates in icosohedral Symmetry axes Conversion matrix Asymmetric unit NCS applied Asymmetric unit NCS not applied Asymmetric unit 60 matrices Recipe & matrices Crystallographic Symmetry operations Biological unit

  14. Virus: problems and solutions Problems: - matrices for generating the biological unit? - improper nomenclature of the 60 matrices for generating the icosohedral virus particle? - placeholder for the NCS matrices for completing the icosohedral asymmetric unit ? - conversion matrix between crystallographic and icosohedral axes? Possible solutions: - uniform representation of matrices for generating the biological unit? - change in the nomenclature of the 60 matrices for generating the virus? - conversion matrix between crystallographic and icosohedral axes always available? - other?

  15. Large macromolecular assembly 2: Ribosomes • The current PDB format can hold: • a maximum of 99,999 atom records, and • upto 62 different polymer chains. • Since there is no way to represent structures that exceedeither of these restrictions in a single PDB file we have divided such structures into multiple PDB entries. • Although this is not a perfect solution, we have done this to support existing software that rely on current format. • The mmCIF/ XMLformat has no such restrictions.

  16. Ribosomes 1GIX: Small subunit of the ribosome 1GIY: Large subunit of the ribosome

  17. Ribosome: problems and solutions Problems: restrictions in the PDB file format? Size of file? Scaling? Docking? Visualization of nucleic acids? Possible solutions: use of mmCIF/ XML format? better way to represent nucleic acids? other?

  18. What is PDB’s responsibility with respect to molecular visualization? providing complete & correctly annotated coordinate files in multiple formats (PDB, cif, XML) providing links & explanations for visualization software = Visualization for usercommunity – general users, researchers, annotators, students, educators, databases, bio-informaticians +

  19. Annotator needs • Currently we use RasMol and NdbView for quick visualization and checking • For annotation, the visualization software should be capable of: • Quick display (especially for large complexes) • Displaying secondary structure • Selecting atoms or residues for display or rendering • Showing symmetry related molecules • Coloring all or selected residues or chains • Computing distances • Displaying standard and unusual ligands

  20. Educator needs • Visualization programs for educators and students should: • Be free • Be open source • Be capable of running on multiple platforms (without browser dependence) • Be portable • Be easy to install and use • Have user friendly interface Common themes from a survey of ~25 educators from all over the world

  21. Educator requests and visions • Visualization software for educators and students should: • Be more interactive so that students can for example, make mutations in the structure • Have better control on superposition of structures • Have an undo command • Be able to import and export more file formats • Have both a menu driven and command line interface • have different interfaces for research and education and perhaps have a tunable interface • Be a multifunctional suite of programs that can all read the same or related formats

  22. Summary: how do we proceed from here? • How do we ensure that large biological molecules like viruses and ribosomes are uniformly represented in the PDB file? • How do we create a channel of communication between the user community and visualization software developers in order to develop better visualization resources?
