Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy is widely used in structural biology as a technique for examining the structure, folding and conformational changes of proteins. A new server, ValiDichro, has been developed for checking the quality and validity of CD spectral data and metadata, both as an aid to data collection and processing and as a validation procedure for spectra to be included in publications. ValiDichro currently includes 25 tests for data completeness, consistency and quality. For each test that is done, not only is a validation report produced, but the user is also provided with suggestions for correcting or improving the data. The ValiDichro server is freely available at http://valispec.cryst.bbk.ac.uk/circularDichroism/ValiDichro/upload.html.
圆二色性(CD)光谱广泛应用于结构生物学领域,是一种用于研究蛋白质结构、折叠和构象变化的技术。为了检查 CD 光谱数据和元数据的质量和有效性,开发了一个名为 ValidiChro 的新服务器,它既是数据收集和处理的辅助工具,也是发表光谱数据的验证程序。ValidiChro 目前包括 25 种用于数据完整性、一致性和质量的测试。对于完成的每一项测试,不仅会生成验证报告,还会为用户提供纠正或改进数据的建议。ValidiChro 服务器可免费在 http://valispec.cryst.bbk.ac.uk/circularDichroism/ValiDichro/upload.html 获得。
