title: High quality protein residues: top2018 all-atom-filtered residues

description: Introduction<br> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> This directory contains files from the top2018 dataset by the Richardson Lab at Duke University. These are high-quality residues from high-quality, low redundancy protein chains in the PDB. <br> Usage recommendations<br> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> Protein residues that fail the filtering criteria described below have been removed from the files. As a result, these files can be considered pre-filtered and will return only results for residues of good model quality with supporting experimental data. All protein atoms have been considered in filtering; these files should be usable for any protein question. If your work is strictly limited to mainchain atoms (plus CB), there is a separate version that has been filtered on only mainchain atoms. The top2018 contains several different levels of homology clustering to ensure nonredundant datasets. The 70% homology level is a reliable default. These chains are listed in top2018_chains_hom70_allfilter_60pct_complete.txt and found in top2018_pdbs_all_filteredhom70.tar.gz Files are organized in subdirectories based on the first two letters of their PDB ids. The included python script sample_file_loop.py may aid in accessing the directory structure. Files already contain hydrogens added by Reduce. NQH flips have been performed to ensure that these are the best versions of these structures. top2018_metadata_all_filtered.csv contains information on release data, resolution, and validation scores. top2018_passrates_all_filtered.csv contains information on how many protein residues from the original chain passed the quality filters. <br> Homology sets:<br> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> Using sequence homology clusters provided by the RCSB PDB, for each homology cluster, the best chain was selected for inclusion in the dataset. This ensures minimal sequence/structural redundancy. The top2018 is available at several different levels of homology clustering, which may be appropriate to different uses. Lists of the included chains at each homology level are included in this distribution. Lower homology numbers mean greater variety and less redundancy, but also fewer total chains in the dataset. For general use, ***we recommend the 70% homology set*** as a good balance between inclusivity and variety. This list is given in the file top2018_chains_hom70_allfilter_60pct_complete.txt <br> Usage caveats:<br> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> These files are incomplete. They are single chains from structures that may have had multiple chains. Residues that fail the filtering criteria have been removed. Programs with strong requirements for completeness or uninterrupted chains should be used with care. Chain completeness and fragmentation statistics are available in top2018_passrates_all_filted.csv and in USER records at the end on each .pdb file. All header information from the original structure has been preserved. This includes information about chains and residues no longer present in the file. All ligands and waters associated with the chain have been preserved without filtering. Robust ligand filtering is beyond the scope of this dataset. Trust the ligands at your own discretion. <br> Filtering criteria: Chain level<br> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> Chain is protein<br> Released on or before Dec 31, 2018<br> Resolution &lt; 2.0<br> MolProbity Score &lt; 2.0<br> &lt;3% residues have cbeta deviations<br> &lt;2% residues have covalent bond length outliers<br> &lt;2% residues have covalent bond geometry outliers Using sequence homology clusters provided by the RCSB PDB, for each homology cluster, the chain with the best (lowest) average of Resolution and MolProbity Score was selected. <br> Filtering criteria: Residue level<br> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> Even good structures may contain poorly-resolved regions. Residue-level filtering helps avoid including these regions in otherwise high-quality data All atoms in a residue:<br> Bfactor &lt;= 40<br> Real-space correlation coefficient (rscc) &gt;= 0.7<br> 2Fo-Fc map value &gt;= 1.2 Additionally, residues are not allowed to have:<br> Covalent geometry outliers<br> Steric overlaps or "clashes", as per Probe<br> Alternate conformations <br> Chain Completeness criteria<br> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> Chains which lost &gt;40% of their residues during filtering were dropped from this dataset. All chains present here are at least 60% complete. Filtering doumentation<br> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> Each file documents its pruned and incluced residues with USER records. These include self-documenting USER DOC lines as follow:<br> USER DOC Lines marked with USER DEL list residues pruned by<br> USER DOC quality filtering.<br> USER DOC Format is chain:resseq:icode:reason_for_pruning<br> USER DOC Reasons for pruning are abbreviated as 1-letter codes: bcmgoa<br> USER DOC b=bfactor, c=real space correlation, m=2Fo-Fc mapvalue<br> USER DOC g=geometry outlier, o=steric overlap, a=alternate conformations<br> USER DOC Lines marked USER INC list the uninterrupted fragments of structure<br> USER DOC still included after pruning by quality filtering<br> USER DOC Format is chain1:resseq1:icode1:chain2:resseq2:icode2:fragment_length<br> USER DOC where 1 is the first and 2 the last residue of the fragment<br> USER DOC Line marked with USER PCT gives statistics for structure completeness
