This is due to the significantly different scattering factors of neutral and ionised atoms for electrons in the low-resolution range (typically less than 5 A). In previous work, we observed two different types of densities around acidic residues in the experimental (|Fo|) map of bacteriorhodopsin (bR), a light-driven proton pump. We suggested that these might reflect different states of the acidic residues; namely, the protonated (neutral) and the deprotonated (negatively charged) state. To evaluate the observed charge more quantitatively, we refined the atomic model for bR and eight surrounding lipids using our electron crystallographic data set between 8.0 and 3.0 A resolution, where the charge effect is small. The refined model yielded an R-factor of 23.7% and a free R-factor of 33.0%. To evaluate the effect of charges on the density map, we calculated a difference (|Fo|-|Fc|) map including data of a resolution lower than 8.0 A resolution, where the charge effect is significant. We found strong peaks in the difference map mainly in the backbone region of the transmembrane helices. We interpreted these peaks to come from the polarisation of the polar groups in the main chain of the alpha-helices and we examined this by assuming a partial charge of 0.5 for the peptide carbonyl groups. The resulting R and free R-factors dropped from 0.250 and 0.341 to 0.246 and 0.336, respectively. Furthermore, we also observed some strong peaks around some side-chains, which could be assigned to positively charged atoms. Thus, we could show that Asp36 and Asp102 are likely to interact with cations nearby. In addition, peaks found around the acidic residues Glu74, Glu194 and Glu212 have different features and might represent positive charges on polarised water molecules or hydroxonium ions.

Jan 31, 2019. EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

  • The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
  • The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Jul 12, 2017. Major update of PDB

Major update of PDB

  • wwPDB released updated PDB data conforming to the new PDBx/mmCIF dictionary.
  • This is a major update changing the version number from 4 to 5, and with Remediation, in which all the entries are updated.
  • In this update, many items about electron microscopy experimental information are reorganized (e.g. em_software).
  • Now, EM Navigator and Yorodumi are based on the updated data.
