PDB Focus: Redundancy Reduction Cluster Data Available on the PDB FTP Site

The results of the weekly clustering of protein chains in the PDB are posted at ftp://ftp.rcsb.org/pub/pdb/derived_data/NR/. These clusters are used in the "remove similar sequences" feature on SearchLite, SearchFields, and the home page on the RCSB PDB Web sites.

Files that list the clusters and their rankings at 50%, 70% and 90% sequence identity are available. Smaller rank numbers indicate higher (better) ranking. Chains with rank number 1 are ranked as the best representative of their cluster.

The contents of these files and the details of the clustering and ranking are further described at ftp://ftp.rcsb.org/pub/pdb/derived_data/NR/README and www.rcsb.org/pdb/redundancy.html.
