Hi all,

I want to share the following e-mail received from pdb-l.

It is sad to see something like that!

regards,
Ibrahim

Dear All,

Better check your data!

Apologies to those who have seen this.

"The University of Alabama at Birmingham has issued a statement indicating
that a former UAB researcher may have fabricated or falsified data about
protein structures that are contained in the Protein Data Bank.

The university did not include a name of the researcher, but the Birmingham
News this week reported that the scientist is H.M. Krishna Murthy and an
independent review by BioInform of the PDB shows that Murthy is associated
with all of the proteins that UAB said were falsified.

The newspaper said that a probe of Murthy's research has been underway since
2007.

"After a thorough examination of the available data, which included a
re-analysis of each structure alleged to have been fabricated, the committee
found a preponderance of evidence that structures 1BEF, 1CMW, 1DF9/2QID,
1G40, 1G44, 1L6L, 2OU1, 1RID, 1Y8E, 2A01, and 2HR0 were more likely than not
falsified and/or fabricated and recommended that they be removed from the
public record," the university said in its statement this week."
