Structures and Data

NOTICE
The structures contained in HIVdb have either been officially deposited to the Protein Data Bank (PDB), or have been obtained directly from depositors for HIVdb only. In the latter case, they may have been less completely refined, or even not refined at all beyond the placement of the ligand; or they may have resulted from experiments that were never fully completed and published, but nevertheless be comparable in quality to the structures deposited in PDB. The structures unique to HIVdb came mostly from pharmaceutical companies and were used primarily as intermediate steps of drug design, in which full refinement was not advisable for the lack of need and resources.
APPENDIX TO ANNOTATION
***    This structure has been deposited in the PDB and has undergone full quality check.
**        This structure has not been deposited in the PDB,but has been fully checked by its authors and
                  is most likely comparable in its quality to the structures deposited in PDB.
*            This structure has not been deposited in the PDB.It may have been subject to only limited refinement,
                 or may have been refined fully, but has not been validated by its author(s). Thus the quality may (but does not have to be)
                 lower than of the structures in the other categories.
