Dear all,

I just learned that all citations are now taken directly from Pubmed
(overiding the original citation given during deposition) - with the
effect that e.g. German umlauts are dropped (i.e. a name of MUELLER
will become MULLER). I guess similar things might happen with other
non-English names/languages.

I think in principle this is a good idea - but with the drawback that
a Pubmed problem (not translating German umlauts correctly into an
ASCII representation) gets transfered into a previously correct PDB
entry. I would have thought that at least the author list is the one
item a depositor will make sure is correct during deposition.

So you might need to get used to a different spelling of your name in
relation to PDB files ...

Cheers

Clemens

PS: it's actually quite interesting comparing some of your 'favourite'
entries as they appear in the current PDB release and in the new
(mostly automatically generated) remediation PDB ... or maybe I'm too
emotionally attached to them and care if remarks disappear, program
names get dropped and author names change.
