We (JCSG) too have been depositing multiple data sets (including unmerged original index intensities for each wavelength and even for multiple crystals when one was used for phasing and another for refinement, and MAD phases and DM modified map coefficients) since 2004 without problems. These are all in separate data loops of a single structure factor file. Regards, Mitch

But the pdb staff is very helpful in getting this deposited. We deposited data of I think 4 "crystals" and 3 wavelengths with different phase sets in 2008. (The data was anisotropic, 3.5/4.2 A resolution, model building was not straight forward, so we wanted to preserve as much information as possible. If memory serves right, we have experimental fobs, anisotropy corrected fobs, a derivative and a semet dataset; if you're interested, pdb code is 3dhw, have a look at the sf-file) hth, Jens On Fri, 2012-04-27 at 20:35 +0200, Mark J van Raaij wrote: > again, it looks like this is particular to the US portal. > We submit via the European www.pdbe.org and can submit multiple datasets. > See 2XGF for an example. > Note: I think from www.rcsb.org only one file can be downloaded, but > www.pdbe.org clearly shows both. > Although you are in the US, you can use the pdbe deposition tool AUTODEP - or > the Japanese one, if you like. > > Mark J van Raaij > Laboratorio M-4 > Dpto de Estructura de Macromoleculas > Centro Nacional de Biotecnologia - CSIC > c/Darwin 3 > E-28049 Madrid, Spain > tel.
