Instruct-ULTRA D8.3 Develop enhanced deposition of structural data to database

In order to correctly curatedata from Cryo Electron Microscopy experiments according to FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reproducible) principles, there needed to be a simple method for researchers to harvest, record and deposit meta data relating to image processing steps. A new mechanism has been set up to enable output from the Scipion processing plugin into a text file. An “empiar depositor” application was developed in order that all relevant information about a protein structure is deposited along with the raw data, such as Principal investigator and Corresponding Author. Finally an improved viewer was designed for EMPIAR to better display protein structures and data fields once deposited. Close collaboration with EMPIAR has contributed to the success of this project.
