PDB-REDO databank

PDB-REDO databank refines protein structure models from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) using automated re-refinement and rebuilding to improve fit to experimental X-ray data and geometric quality for downstream structural analyses.


Key Features:

  • Automated Re-refinement: Improves fit to experimental X-ray data and enhances geometric quality using automated protocols including Translation/Libration/Screw (TLS) models to account for concerted atom movements.
  • Advanced Algorithms: Performs automatic rebuilding and remodeling of main-chain peptide bonds and side chains guided by crystallographic electron density maps.
  • Validation and Correction: Validates and corrects common structural anomalies such as geometrically distorted zinc complexes in tetrahedral coordination with cysteine and histidine ligands.
  • Comprehensive Validation Data: Produces validation data that detail model quality metrics and the changes made relative to the original PDB entries.
  • Large-Scale Consistency: Applies consistent treatment across structural models to improve their suitability for large-scale analyses and data mining.

Scientific Applications:

  • Teaching protein structure: Provides refined models for teaching protein structure principles and geometry.
  • Ligand optimization in drug development: Improves the accuracy of protein–ligand coordinates used for ligand optimization in drug development.
  • Homology modeling: Supplies higher-quality templates to improve homology modeling outcomes.
  • Rational drug design: Enables structure-based rational drug design by providing improved three-dimensional coordinates.
  • Structural biology and large-scale analyses: Facilitates structural biology studies and large-scale comparative analyses that require uniform, validated model sets.

Methodology:

Uses large-scale benchmarking of thousands of PDB entries, automated re-refinement and rebuilding (including TLS models), and grid computing to manage the computational demands.
