PROTEIN STRUCTURE VALIDATION NOTE: The coordinates file needs to be in Brookhaven format and the structure factor file in mmCIF format and the resolution in Angstrom. PROCHECK checks the stereochemical quality of a protein structure, producing a number of PostScript plots analysing its overall and residue-by-residue geometry. SFCHECK evaluates the structure-factor data obtained from X-ray diffraction experiments and assesses the agreement of the atomic coordinates with these data. The atomic volume check (done by the PROVE program) calculates for each atom in the structure the atomic volume. It compares these volumes with a pre-computed average for each atom type. This comparison results in a Z-value for each buried atom. A structural Zrms is also calculated, using the square of these scores. ERRAT is a protein structure verification algorithm that is especially well-suited for evaluating the progress of crystallographic model building and refinement. The program works by analyzing the statistics of non-bonded interactions between different atom types. This program will take a Protein Data Bank structural file with solvent electron density peaks designated as water oxygens. Based on simple structural criteria it will pick out the peaks that could be metal ions (Na+, Li+, Mg++, Ca++). The chosen peaks are subsequently written to 4 pdb-formatted files one for each ion. The temperature factor field is replaced by the calculated ion-specific valence of that solvent peak. NOTE: To run DDQ, the PDB file must contain SCALE information.
