Key Validation Metrics Reported in the wwPDB Structure Validation Reports and Used for Percentile Rank Calculation
| Metric | Details | Software Package and References |
|---|---|---|
| Rfree | cross-validation of goodness of fit between the model and the experimental diffraction data not used for refinement. Applicable to crystallographic structures | DCC (Yang et al., 2016) |
| Clashscore | number of too-close contacts in an entry normalized per 1,000 atoms | MolProbity (Chen et al., 2010) |
| Ramachandran outliers | fraction of polypeptide residues deemed to have very unusual backbone conformation (<0.5% of those observed in a high-quality reference set) | MolProbity (Chen et al., 2010), Maxit (Z.F., https://sw-tools.rcsb.org/apps/MAXIT) |
| Side-chain outliers | fraction of polypeptide residues in non-rotameric side-chain conformations (<0.5% of those observed in a high-quality reference set) | MolProbity (Chen et al., 2010) |
| RSRZ outliers | fraction of polypeptide and/or polynucleotide residues that do not fit the electron density well when compared with other instances of the same residues in structures at similar resolution. Applicable to crystallographic structures | EDS (Kleywegt et al., 2004) |
| RNA backbone | average score over all RNA nucleotides in the entry indicating the quality of the observed RNA backbone conformation | MolProbity (Chen et al., 2010) |
