Title and Speaker

• "Protein Data Bank Japan: the Asian hub of 3D macromolecular structural data"
  Genji KURISU (Institute for Protein Research, Osaka University, Japan)

  The PDBj (PDB Japan, https://pdbj.org/) is a core member of the worldwide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB, https://wwpdb.org/) and processes the deposited structural data from researchers in Asian and Middle-east regions. In order to promote the recent "Data Science", the wwPDB is introducing several new policies: (i) Collection of ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID: http://orcid.org/) for contact authors and login using ORCID has started already, (ii) Visualization of ligand validation and electron density maps in the wwPDB validation report was improved, (iii) The NMR exchange (NEF) and NMR-STAR formats provide a standardized approach for representing commonly used NMR restraints. Using these restraint formats, a standardized validation system for assessing structural models of biopolymers against restraints has been developed and implemented in the wwPDB OneDep data harvesting system. These issues will be introduced at the Seminar.

• "Approaches to increasing data and improving reusability in PDBj"
  Masashi YOKOCHI (Institute for Protein Research, Osaka University, Japan)
