Matthew: I think your nice summary leaves out an important point that has not been explicitly mentioned. That is the question of whether depositing hydrogens actually adds information to the model. I submit that for a typical protein refinement it does not. The model is adequately described by s

My structure contains riding hydrogens because (surprise!) the protein contains hydrogens, no matter the resolution of the data. Hydrogens should contribute to the calculated structure factors, because they do contribute to the observed structure factors. If I delete the hydrogens from the coord

We should demand that the wwpdb discards all entries that do not satisfy the “the criteria of I/SigI > 5 and Rmerge <50%” good practical reference” 😊 . That’s probably a majority of them. And of course all associated pubs should be retracted, to be consistent with the referee’s attitude of refus

If you deposit an mmCIF file that contains both the observed and calculated structure factors from your final round of refinement, then the PDB auto-validation reports the same (or so close to the same as to be negligible) R factors. Phenix outputs all of this automatically for you if you click

Can we get some momentum for the "standard table 1" including TWO numbers - outer limit used in refinement, and nominal resolution based on some standard such as I/sigI =2 (or 3, or whatever the community can agree on)? That would hopefully cut down on all the reviewer complaints of overstated

Hi, Firdous, Most modern force fields have a way to describe ions, small molecules or modified residues for MD run. And they already contain description for phosphorilated aminoacids.
