DCC: a Swiss army knife for structure factor analysis and validation.
Since 2008, X-ray structure depositions to the Protein Data Bank archive (PDB) have required submission of experimental data in the form of structure factor files. RCSB PDB has developed the programDCCto allow worldwide PDB (wwPDB; http://wwpdb.org) biocurators, using a single command-line program, to invoke a number of third-party software packages to compare the model file with the experimental data.DCCfunctionality includes structure factor validation, electron-density map generation and slicing, local electron-density analysis, and residualBfactor analysis.DCCoutputs a summary containing various crystallographic statistics in PDBx/mmCIF format for use in automatic data processing and archiving pipelines.
