PDB validation

PDB validation is a process used to ensure that a Protein Data Bank (PDB) file, which contains 3D structural information about molecules like proteins and DNA, is accurate and reliable. It checks for errors or inconsistencies in the data, such as unusual bond lengths or angles, missing information, or issues that could affect subsequent analysis. Validation helps scientists verify that the structural data correctly represents the biological molecules, maintaining high-quality standards for research, drug design, and other scientific applications. Essentially, it’s a quality check to confirm that the structural data is trustworthy and well-formatted.
