Dear PDB-l, A new paper describes how the recently-announced NextGen Archive <http://www.wwpdb.org/news/news?year=2023#63cedad9b5f08ee94ab73826> provides centralized access to integrated annotations and enriched structural information for PDB data: *NextGen Archive: Centralising Access to Integrated Annotations and Enriched Structural Information by the Worldwide Protein Data Bank* Preeti Choudhary, Zukang Feng, John Berrisford, Henry Chao, Yasuyo Ikegawa, Ezra Peisach, Dennis W. Piehl, James Smith, Ahsan Tanweer, Mihaly Varadi, John D. Westbrook, Jasmine Y. Young, Ardan Patwardhan, Kyle L. Morris, Jeffrey C. Hoch, Genji Kurisu, Sameer Velankar, Stephen K. Burley (2023) /bioRxiv/ doi: 10.1101/2023.10.24.563739 <https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.10.24.563739> The PDB NextGen archive <http://www.wwpdb.org/ftp/pdb-nextgen-archive-site> provides sequence annotation from external resources such as UniProt, SCOP2 and Pfam in addition to the content provided in the structure model files in the PDB main archive. The inclusion of UniProtKB numbering facilitates effortless structural comparisons between experimental and predicted protein models. These PDBx/mmCIF files are directly compatible with various data visualization tools, simplifying the display of annotations on 3D structure views. <http://www.wwpdb.org/news/news?year=2024#top> -- Regards, Jasmine =========================================================== Jasmine Young, Ph.D. Biocuration Team Lead RCSB Protein Data Bank Research Professor Institute for Quantitative Biomedicine Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey 174 Frelinghuysen Rd Piscataway, NJ 08854-8087 Email:jasmine@rcsb.rutgers.edu Phone: (848)445-0103 ext 4920 Fax: (732)445-4320 ===========================================================
