19 Overview Why validation is necessary What data/information can be used for validation How can structures be validated Useful Programs / Web sites PROTEIN CRYSTALLOGRAPHY IV STRUCTURE VALIDATION
20 Why Validation? Scientific (experimental) results are always afflicted with prejudice and bias be it deliberately or by accident and ignorance. Even though articles are proof read by referees, the experiment itself will hardly ever be repeated by an independent person before publications. Protein crystallography is no exception. However, crystallographic results are most often presented by colourful pictures that can easily make the reader over interpret their meaning. Since such models are used by non crystallographers, it is important for them to be able to check their quality. PROTEIN CRYSTALLOGRAPHY IV STRUCTURE VALIDATION
21 Words of Caution The left hand side was published in 1989 as the structure of photoactive yellow protein (PDB entry 1phy). It took six years until the corrected version (right) was published (PDB entry 2phy) (G. Kleywegt, Acta Cryst D56 (2000)). PROTEIN CRYSTALLOGRAPHY IV STRUCTURE VALIDATION
22 Not Everything in Black and White Makes Sense The structure of TBP, the TATA-box binding protein (TBP or TFIIDτ ) was published in 1992 (Nikolov et al., Nature 360, pp.40 46). The shape of the molecule suggested that the TATA box sits straight in the groove of the protein. The structure of the complex, published a year later by Kim et al. (Nature 365, pp ) revealed that the DNA was actually heavily bent. P ROTEIN C RYSTALLOGRAPHY IV S TRUCTURE VALIDATION
23 What you see is what you get? Another issue with PDB files is that they contain more information than a graphical viewer might be able to display. Many crystallographers include atoms/residues into their structures without experimental support and set their occupancy to zero. This could be justified because they know the residues were present in the molecule (at least for recombinant proteins). PROTEIN CRYSTALLOGRAPHY IV STRUCTURE VALIDATION
24 By what means structures can be validated I Validation means estimation of the model in comparison with the data. However, since the model was created by refinement against the data, the model is biased. Therefore, there is need for an independent judge. All information can be used 1. that did not participate in the creation of the model/ minimisation of the model data difference 2. of which ideal values are known. This means that these information must be the same or similar for all proteins. PROTEIN CRYSTALLOGRAPHY IV STRUCTURE VALIDATION
25 By what means structures can be validated II Comparison Model Data. Data collected from the crystal are of course the first source one would think of when it comes to validation. Unfortunately, in calculating the electron density, amplitudes from the data were mixed with phases from the model. This means that our model is already heavily biased against the data. This is why the 5 10% of all reflections never used for refinement in order to be able to calculate the R free value: R (free) = hkl F obs F calc hkl ( F obs ) 95% of all reflections (h,k,l) are used in order to calculate the R value, which is used for model refinement and optimisation. The remaining 5% of reflections are NOT used for refinement/optimisation, and the R free is calculated from them with the same formula above. Therefore, these 5% of reflections are independent. PROTEIN CRYSTALLOGRAPHY IV STRUCTURE VALIDATION
26 Dihedral Angles The Ramachandran Plot Comparison Model External Information. A quantity that was not used in refinement, and therefore is mostly unbiased, are angles. The most famous ones are the dihedral angles ψ and ϕ, defined by the peptide main chain. Φ is the angle between the two planes defined by C i 1 N i C α and N i C α i C i, whereas Ψ is the angle between the two planes of N i C α i C i and C α i C i N i+1. Because of energetic reasons, these two angles are not independent. Their dependency is drawn in the Ramachandran plot. PROTEIN CRYSTALLOGRAPHY IV STRUCTURE VALIDATION
27 The Ramachandran Plot PROTEIN CRYSTALLOGRAPHY IV STRUCTURE VALIDATION
28 Ramachandran Plot with several Molecules Even more information can be read from the Ramachandran plot, if more than one copy of a molecule live in the asymmetric unit: the two (or more) copies should be rather similar to each other. If one plots the Ramachandran plot for all molecules into the same diagram and connects corresponding residues, one should NOT obtain a picture like this. PROTEIN CRYSTALLOGRAPHY IV STRUCTURE VALIDATION
29 The Real Space R factor R and R free are global figures of merit: one number each that represents the quality of the total structure. The Ramachandran plot was a first mean to assess local errors, because it provides information about single residues. Another on is the real space R factor or real space correlation coefficient. The electron density around a residue does not depend much on residues far away; this allows calculation of the difference between density calculated from the model and calculated from data (reflections) and model (phases). PROTEIN CRYSTALLOGRAPHY IV STRUCTURE VALIDATION
30 The Real Space R factor an Example PROTEIN CRYSTALLOGRAPHY IV STRUCTURE VALIDATION
31 Useful Programs These programs check a lot of properties both of PDB files and X ray diffraction data: procheck This program must be installed on the local computer (no web interface). It takes a PDB file as input and writes out ten Postscript files plus text files that describe deviations from ideal geometry values Electron Density Server from the Uppsala Software Factory. A web interface where the user can enter the code of a PDB entry or upload their own data. Calculates e.g. the real space R factor, B factor plots, etc. WhatCheck extensive checks for PDB files with very strict error checking. Probably finds errors with every structure in the PDB PROTEIN CRYSTALLOGRAPHY IV STRUCTURE VALIDATION

35 Summary Most of the pretty pictures about proteins represent structures determined by X ray diffraction. But do not be deceived by colours and artistic compositions. Everyone who make use of PDB files / structural data should be aware of possible pitfalls. 1. Read the header information. 2. Consider the resolution and data quality 3. Make use of programs that examine structure and (if available/possible) data Interpreting data is important for science, but one must not exaggerate and stay close to the facts.

42 Dynamical Structural Science next generation of X-ray facilities can revolutionize time-resolved structural studies of proteins. based on hard X-ray free electron lasers (XFELs) conservative extrapolation of recent developments can foresee intermediate trapping and time-resolved wide-angle X-ray scattering studies becoming increasingly widely applied approaches within structural biology. applications of time-resolved Laue diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy will grow, albeit more slowly. imminent application of ultra-fast extremely intense XFEL-generated X-ray pulses to probe the reaction pathways of light-sensitive proteins will offer unique opportunities to probe the structural dynamics of proteins with time by following the evolution of isomerization, bond breaking and charge-transfer reactions on the timescales at which these fundamental photochemical processes occur the remarkable peak brilliance of the XFEL will enable interpretable X-ray diffraction patterns to be recorded from nanometre size crystals of only a few enzyme molecules such an approach would potentially enable extremely rapid chemical triggering of reactions within nanocrystals by rapid mixing enabling an enzyme catalyzed reaction to be followed for some time Westenhoff S, Nazarenko E, Malmerberg E, Davidsson J, Katona G, Neutze R.
