Betreff: Clarification of instructions for authors

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing on behalf of the Crystallography Open Database (COD) which is one of the repositories for X-Ray Crystallographic Data recommended by your journal. Recently, an attempt was made to deposit a protein crystal structure to our database; after a short exchange with the author it was made clear that she was simply following the instructions provided on your website (http://www.mdpi.com/journal/crystals/instructions). Protein crystal structures are out of the scope of the COD (as well as your other recommended repository --  the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC)) since the field is well covered by the Protein Data Bank (PDB). Would it be possible to update your instructions to reflect that the protein structures should indeed be deposited to the PDB?

 

Sincerely,

Antanas Vaitkus
