Validation Services

Validation reports contain an assessment of the quality of a structure and highlight specific concerns by considering the coordinates of the model, the experimental data and the fit between the two. Easily interpretable summary information that compares the quality of a model with that of other models in the archive will help users of PDB data to critically assess archived entries and to select the most appropriate structural models for their needs. These reports are developed using the recommendations of the wwPDB Validation Task Forces.

Reports for released entries are available from Structure Summary pages.

Validation reports for manuscript reviewers are created during annotation of deposited structures.

Information and  example Validation Reports (at wwpdb.org).

Check your X-ray, NMR, or EM structures before depositing (standalone server).
