Model Validation

This section includes a number of web tools and databases that may help in assessing the reliability of structural models (crystallographic, NMR, or homology based models).

Databases
open in new windowEDS Electron Density Server - a collection of reports on models from the PDB (for which experimental crystallographic data has been deposited) with a focus on the fit of the model to the data
open in new windowPDBREPORT database of automatically made WHAT CHECK reports for all PDB entries
open in new windowPDBsum Each entry Includes links to PROCHECK, WHAT CHECK and EDS reports
   
Servers

Programs that Incorporated in the Servers
open in new windowCISPEP
Uses to investigate if any non-proline peptide bond that has been modeled as trans could in reality be cis.
DDQ
Difference density quality analysis.
open in new windowMOLEMAN2
Includes geometry and dihedrals angles analyses.
open in new windowPROCHECK
Includes stereochemical quality checks.
PROVE
Atomic volume check.
open in new windowSFCHECK
A program for assessing the agreement between the atomic model and X-ray data or EM map.
WASP
Uses to investigate if certain water molecules could be metal ions instead.
open in new windowWHAT CHECK
A protein verification tools from the open in new windowWHAT-IF program. Includes stereochemical, steric, nomenclature, and packing quality checks. The checks can be accessed via open in new windowWHAT-IF servers (Build/check/repair model server).
