Dear pdb-l,

PDBe has created a new process to aggregate and name assemblies in the
PDB based on unique assembly composition. This process allows assemblies
with the same composition to be aggregated together. The assemblies can
be aggregated into over 90,000 distinct compositions by mapping each
component in an assembly to external databases. Over 90% of the
assemblies have been named using external resources such as Complex
Portal, Gene Ontology, UniProt and manual curation by PDBe annotators.

This new process will allow researchers to find all assemblies that have
a certain UniProt/Rfam accession or combination of accessions. Users can
also find super-assemblies of an assembly which can help understand how
different protein complexes interact with each other. Finally, users can
find assemblies based on specific names helping to identify and study
specific protein complexes that are relevant to their research.
