Dear pdb-l,

Please take a brief survey about usage of DSN6-formatted data files:
https://go.rutgers.edu/shedm9xa

In fall of 2024, electron density map coefficients will be available in
the public PDB archive for all X-ray structures. These map coefficients
will be the same as used in wwPDB Validation Reports.

These files will replace the electron density maps and combined map
coefficient files distributed by RCSB PDB and used by the NGLviewer at
RCSB.org. These data are calculated using publicly-available coordinate
files and structure factor files and offered in DSN6 format. RCSB PDB
plans to shutdown the NGL viewer by July, 2024 and will no longer need
these data (announcement
https://www.rcsb.org/news/feature/65b42d3fc76ca3abcc925d15).

RCSB PDB is asking software developers and data end users who may be
using the current DSN6-formatted data files to take this brief survey
(<5 minutes). Your responses will help us gauge the current use of the
EDMAPS service and to help transition users to alternative data sources.

All survey responses at https://go.rutgers.edu/shedm9xa are greatly
appreciated! The survey will close May 1, 2024.

Thank you very much,

Ezra Peisach
