Greetings, Following the timetable established for the evaluation of mmCIF dictionary extensions, a set of proposed dictionary extensions was sent to COMCIFS for review on April 1. We are now placing the collection of new definitions on the mmCIF site for public review. Thanks to all of you who have contributed definitions, and to the editors who have contributed their time and expertise in the review process. Your comments on these new definitions should be directed to the mmCIF list server mmciflist@ndbserver.rutgers.edu. You can locate the extension dictionary and a discussion of the extension process at one the URLs: http://ndbserver.rutgers.edu/mmcif/dict-template/ex.html http://ndbserver.ebi.ac.uk:5700/mmcif/dict-templates/ex.html http://ndbserver.nibh.go.jp/mmcif/dict-templates/ex.html http://ndb.sdsc.edu/mmcif/dict-templates/ex.html Regards, Helen Berman Paula Fitzgerald John Westbrook -- ****************************************************************** John Westbrook Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey Department of Chemistry 610 Taylor Road Piscataway, NJ 08854-8087 e-mail: jwest@ndb.rutgers.edu Ph: (732) 445-4290 Fax: (732) 445-4320 ******************************************************************
