Because I was struggling hard with default values for cdk.interfaces fields, I did not have time to write up the Bug Squash Party report for day 3 (see also day 1 and day 2). But here it is. Day 3 Kai worked hard on getting the cdk.interfaces API cleaned up, as agreed upon earlier. Christian added a test for the RMSD calculator (see getAllAtomRMSD()), and cleaned up his code a bit.

Some time ago I blogged about the ChildResourceCreator extension point in Bioclipse and hinted as using that for PDB files. which contain 3D molecular models, sequences and bibliographic information.

While I was working on implementing proper author-given chain IDs in PDB structures for Jmol’s mmCIF reader today, I thought it was interesting to mention the recent article Traditional Biomolecular Structure Determination by NMR Spectroscopy Allows for Major Errors by Nabuurs (DOI:10.1371/journal.pcbi.0020009, open access), working at the CMBI, two floors away from my former working location at the Radboud University Nijmegen.
