Step 1: Preparation for Data Deposition

Before proceeding with your deposition, it will be useful to have on hand the following information:

• Chemical description of the molecules in the system studied.
• Residue sequences for polymers
• Sequence database reference for the biological molecule(s)
• Atom and bond lists for ligands and non-standard residues
• List of contents for at least a representative sample
• List of experimental conditions (temperature, pH, etc)
• A list of names to use for each sample and each set of experimental conditions

For BMRB Deposition

• ASCII file(s) containing chemical shift assignments or coupling constants, preferably in NMR-STAR format, but ASCII files containing tables with tab or comma delimited fields will be accepted.
  
• To create NMR-STAR chemical shift assignment files, please refer to template generators or STARch file converter.
  Note: Preparation Method of Chemical Shift
• NMR-STAR, the data exchange format used by BMRB, is a flexible version of the CIF format used by PDB. A full description of the NMR-STAR format is available from the BMRB web site. Data entered here will be converted by software into the NMR-STAR format.

For PDB Deposition

• Atomic coordinate files and Restraint files are required.
