If you find MolProbity a useful tool then please look at the statement at the top of
http://molprobity.biochem.duke.edu/ The statement reads: "URGENT: For the survival of MolProbity, we need your supporting comments or letters. The MolProbity renewal NIH grant scored well but not well enough, and reviewers specifically asked for more user feedback. Please send us your stories about how you use MolProbity, why you value it, and how it has helped your research. We are resubmitting the grant -- to maintain the resource, update features, and develop new ways to help people do much better at low resolution. Send to david.richard...@duke.edu, before February 20 -- either a formal letter of support, or just useful, quotable comments in email. " I find MolProbity very useful and am just drafting such an email. Hope it is OK to send this to the ccp4bb. Many people use MolProbity from their own sites, or using 3rd party software tools (such as buster-report or the wwPDB validation server) so they would not have seen the message.
