Detalle de: EMDep: A web-based system for the deposition and validation of high-resolution electron microscopy macromolecular structural information

This paper describes the design and implementation of a Web-based deposition system, EMDep, for macro-molecular volumes determined by electron microscopy and deposited at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) for inclusion in the Electron Microscopy Data Base (EMDB). EMDep is a flexible and portable system (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/msd-srv/emdep/) that allows for the acceptance and validation of data, by an interactive depositor-driven operation. The system takes full advantage of the knowledge and expertise of the experimenters, rather than relying on the database curators, for the complete and accurate description of the structural experiment and its results.
