Title Section

This section contains records used to describe the experiment and the biological macromolecules present in the entry: HEADER, OBSLTE, TITLE, SPLIT, CAVEAT, COMPND, SOURCE, KEYWDS, EXPDTA, AUTHOR, REVDAT, SPRSDE, JRNL, and REMARK records.


HEADER

Overview

The HEADER record uniquely identifies a PDB entry through the idCode field. This record also provides a classification for the entry. Finally, it contains the date when the coordinates were deposited to the PDB archive.

Record Format

COLUMNS       DATA  TYPE     FIELD             DEFINITION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 1 -  6       Record name    "HEADER"
11 - 50       String(40)     classification    Classifies the molecule(s).
51 - 59       Date           depDate           Deposition date. This is the date the
                                               coordinates  were received at the PDB.
63 - 66       IDcode         idCode            This identifier is unique within the PDB.

Details

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

The verification program checks that the deposition date is a legitimate date and that the ID code is well-formed.

PDB coordinate entry ID codes do not begin with 0. “No coordinates”, or NOC files, given as 0xxx codes, contained no structural information and were bibliographic only. These entries were subsequently removed from PDB archive.

Relationships to Other Record Types

The classification found in HEADER also appears in KEYWDS, unabbreviated and in no strict order.

OBSLTE

Overview

OBSLTE appears in entries that have been removed from public distribution.

This record acts as a flag in an entry that has been removed (“obsoleted”) from the PDB's full release. It indicates which, if any, new entries have replaced the entry that was obsoleted. The format allows for the case of multiple new entries replacing one existing entry.

TITLE

Overview

The TITLE record contains a title for the experiment or analysis that is represented in the entry.
It should identify an entry in the same way that a citation title identifies a publication.

COLUMNS       DATA  TYPE     FIELD         DEFINITION
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Details

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

This record is free text so no verification of format is required. The title is supplied by the depositor, but staff may exercise editorial judgment in consultation with depositors in
assigning the title.

Relationships to Other Record Types

COMPND, SOURCE, EXPDTA, and REMARKs provide information that may also be found in TITLE. You may think of the title as describing the experiment, and the compound record as describing the molecule(s).

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

CAVEAT will be added to entries known to be incorrect.


COMPND

Overview

The COMPND record describes the macromolecular contents of an entry. Some cases where the entry contains a standalone drug or inhibitor, the name of the non-polymeric molecule will appear in this record. Each macromolecule found in the entry is described by a set of token: value pairs, and is referred to as a COMPND record component. Since the concept of a molecule is difficult to specify exactly, staff may exercise editorial judgment in consultation with depositors in assigning these names.

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

CHAIN must match the chain identifiers(s) of the molecule(s). EC numbers are also checked.

Relationships to Other Record Types

In the case of mutations, the SEQADV records will present differences from the reference molecule. REMARK records may further describe the contents of the entry. Also see verification above.

SOURCE

Overview

The SOURCE record specifies the biological and/or chemical source of each biological molecule in the entry. Some cases where the entry contains a standalone drug or inhibitor, the source information of this molecule will appear in this record. Sources are described by both the common name and the scientific name, e.g., genus and species. Strain and/or cell-line for immortalized cells are given when they help to uniquely identify the biological entity studied.

KEYWDS

Overview

The KEYWDS record contains a set of terms relevant to the entry. Terms in the KEYWDS record provide a simple means of categorizing entries and may be used to generate index files. This record addresses some of the limitations found in the classification field of the HEADER record. It provides the opportunity to add further annotation to the entry in a concise and computer-searchable fashion.

Record Format

                                           to the entry.       

Details

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

Terms used in the KEYWDS record are subject to scientific and editorial review. A list of terms, definitions, and synonyms will be maintained by the wwPDB.  Every attempt will be made to provide some level of consistency with keywords used in other biological databases.

Relationships to Other Record Types

HEADER records contain a classification term which must also appear in KEYWDS. Scientific judgment will dictate when terms used in one entry to describe a molecule should be included in other entries with the same or similar molecules.

EXPDTA (updated)

Overview

The EXPDTA record presents information about the experiment.

The EXPDTA record identifies the experimental technique used. This may refer to the type of radiation and sample, or include the spectroscopic or modeling technique. Permitted values include:

    X-RAY  DIFFRACTION
    FIBER  DIFFRACTION
    NEUTRON  DIFFRACTION
    ELECTRON  CRYSTALLOGRAPHY
    ELECTRON  MICROSCOPY
    SOLID-STATE  NMR 
    SOLUTION  NMR 
    SOLUTION  SCATTERING         

*Note:Since October 15, 2006, theoretical models are no longer accepted for deposition.  Any theoretical models deposited prior to this date are archived at ftp://ftp.wwpdb.org/pub/pdb/data/structures/models
Please see the documentation from previous versions for the related file format description.

                                           sample or experiment. 

Details

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

The verification program checks that the EXPDTA record appears in the entry and that the technique matches one of the allowed values. It also checks that the relevant standard REMARK is added, as in the cases of NMR or electron microscopy studies, that the appropriate CRYST1 and SCALE values are used.

Relationships to Other Record Types

If the experiment is an NMR or electron microscopy study, this may be stated in the TITLE, and the appropriate EXPDTA and REMARK records should appear. Specific details of the data collection and experiment appear in the REMARKs.

In the case of a polycrystalline fiber diffraction study, CRYST1 and SCALE contain the normal unit cell data.

The modType must be one of the defined types, and the given record type must be valid. If modType is 0, the modId must match the entry's ID code in the HEADER record.

Relationships to Other Record Types

In the case of a version revision, the current will be specified in REMARK 4.

SPRSDE

Overview

The SPRSDE records contain a list of the ID codes of entries that were made obsolete by the given coordinate entry and removed from the PDB release set. One entry may replace many.

It is wwPDB policy that only the principal investigator of a structure has the authority to obsolete it.
Record Format

COLUMNS        DATA TYPE     FIELD         DEFINITION

72 - 75        IDcode        sIdCode       ID code of a superseded entry.         

Details

Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control

wwPDB checks that the superseded entries have actually been removed from release.

Relationships to Other Record Types

The sprsdeDate is usually the date the entry is released, and therefore matches the date in the REVDAT 1 record. The ID code found in the idCode field must be the same as one found in the idCode field of the HEADER record.
