FAIRsharing record for: ModelCIF

This FAIRsharing record describes: The ModelCIF is a data information framework developed for and by computational structural biologists to enable delivery of Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) data to users worldwide. ModelCIF describes the specific set of attributes and metadata associated with macromolecular structures modeled by solely computational methods and provides an extensible data representation for deposition, archiving, and public dissemination of predicted three-dimensional (3D) models of macromolecules. It is an extension of the Protein Data Bank Exchange / macromolecular Crystallographic Information Framework (PDBx/mmCIF), which is the global data standard for representing experimentally-determined 3D structures of macromolecules and associated metadata. ModelCIF is an extension of the PDBx/mmCIF dictionary. The PDBx/mmCIF dictionary is used by the wwPDB to archive structural models of macromolecules determined using X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy and three-dimensional Electron Microscopy.
