Hi all, I've been playing with the new PDB validation service. It is very pretty and kudos to all the hard work that has clearly gone into it. I did notice however that the way the information is presented, there seems to be a bias towards truncating side chains versus modeling them with higher b-factors. The disordered side chains have higher RSRZs (rightfully so), but there doesn't seem to be any indicator for missing atoms. As a results I can make my validation report "prettier" by truncating versus modeling with high Bs.
I don't want to kick an ant pile here, but given this rather significant difference in quality reporting, I was wondering if the community had reached a consensus on this issue that I had missed. Cheers, Katherine -- "Nil illegitimo carborundum"* - *Didactylos
