HarvestDB

Introduction

HarvestDB is a web-based integrate tool for NESG users to deposit and archive and NMR/X-Ray protein structures. All NESG structures are required to be processed and archived through HarvestDB.

The front end of HarvestDB is java-based servelet pages and the back end is SPiNE database.

HarvestDB has the following major functions:

      A. Archive files
      B. Version tracking
      C. PSVS analysis
      D. Deposit to BMRB/PDB
      E. Update SPiNE and Structure Gallery

             b. Send files: Coordinates, Constraint Lists and NMRStar file
             c. HarvestDB receives BMRB and PDB id, deposition date, deposition status from BMRB
             d. For successful deposition: HarvestDB updates SPiNE to create NMR record, send notify email to user and PI
             e. For error deposition: HarvestDB asks user to modify and re-deposit

     '6.  HarvestDB Updates Structure Gallery

             a. http://nmr.cabm.rutgers.edu:9090/gallery/jsp/Gallery.jsp
             b. Fix Header: HarvestDB asks user to fix the Title, Protein Name (NO Hypothetical ) and Author list (Last Author / PI name) of coordinates
