Dear all,
We are excited to announce the launch of a detailed*PDBx/mmCIF File
Format User Guide* <https://mmcif.wwpdb.org/docs/user-guide/guide.html>.
As the foundation for depositing, annotating, and archiving structural
data across diverse experimental techniques, the Protein Data Bank
Exchange macromolecular Crystallographic Information Framework
(PDBx/mmCIF <https://mmcif.wwpdb.org/>) stands as the master format of
the Protein Data Bank. Our user-friendly guide offers detailed
explanation and examples of essential PDBx/mmCIF records, aimed to
facilitate a smooth transition to this format for depositors and users
alike.
The wwPDB anticipates that all four-character PDB IDs will be exhausted
by 2028, after which 12-character PDB IDs will be issued. Entries with
extended PDB IDs will not be compatible with the legacy PDB file format
and will only be available in PDBx/mmCIF format. wwPDB encourages users
to transition to the PDBx/mmCIF format as soon as possible.
We invite all users to participate in abrief survey
<https://rutgers.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_ebusbrMCmLbB0WO>(accessible
from the*PDBx/mmCIF File Format User Guide*
<https://mmcif.wwpdb.org/docs/user-guide/guide.html>) to share feedback
on this guide by December 15, 2024. Your feedback will greatly
contribute to future developments.
Kind regards,
Deborah Harrus, on behalf of the wwPDB
