MotiveValidator:UserManual

MotiveValidator is a platform for a set of applications designed to help you determine whether a residue or a ligand in a biomolecule or biomolecular complex is structurally complete and correctly annotated according to its models stored in the wwPDB Chemical Component Dictionary (wwPDB CCD).

Below you can find the MotiveValidator user manual, which contains all the information you need in order to make efficient use of MotiveValidator. Additional support is provided on the MotiveValidator web pages. When you first access the MotiveValidator page, you will find basic information in the Quick Help tab, and useful examples of database snippets in the Samples tab. Moreover, various interactive guides are accessible at all times by a green button at the top right corner of some tabs. We recommend that you make use of these as often as you need.
