Creative BioMart has a scientific team specializing in structural biology to provide reliable structure validation services for kinase/phosphatase biology research and drug development. We offer a comprehensive structure validation services to help our customers obtain accurate and reliable crystal structures for downstream applications.

Background

In structural biology, it has become critical to provide experimental data and atomic coordinates to validate structural models come from experiments such as X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). An accurate understanding of the strengths and limitations of structure models plays a significant role in elucidating and controlling the functions of biomolecules. Poor crystal structure refinement is usually the result of less-than-ideal experimental conditions, limited data precision, and wrong structures. For a given structure, there is a need to quickly and efficiently decide whether it is acceptable or simply incorrect, or further refinement is required.

Structure validation mainly focuses on the validity of the experimental measurements, the consistence between the experimental data and the atomic model, and the consistency between the structure models and the known chemical and physical properties. Structure validation tools are designed to assess the reliability of three-dimensional atomic models of biomolecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids, and aid in decision making. Structure validation is an iterative process until there are no longer any problematic regions that can be further improved. However, there is a lack of universal standards and perfect tools for structure validation.
