as Brinda pointed out, in the IHMCIF paper we wrote:
Second, a model can be multi-state. A set of multiple states can be used to describe a system that exists in a mixture of multiple structural and/or compositional states that collectively satisfy the input information. For example, a sample of enzyme molecules in solution is structurally heterogeneous when it exists in an equilibrium between open and closed states; it is compositionally heterogeneous when it contains enzyme molecules both with and without a ligand.
However, multi-state treatment is an explicit choice in the modeling process. One can model the system as a single state and get a collection of structural models that collectively describe the system (like an IDR ensemble).
Also, in the IHMCIF paper we don't mention ensembles at all.
@jaredsagendorf do you have a good definition for the ensemble?
Also, I just realized that PDBDEV_00000008 is missing from the list. Shouldn't it be a canonical example for the ensemble, where each model has a relatively poor fit to the data but the collection as a whole fits the data well?
The term
ensemble
is used differently by different communities.In IHMCIF, we want to consider these as a "collection of models" that individually satisfy the input data within a threshold rather than as ensembles.
Consider renaming
ihm_ensemble_info
accordingly and update category and item descriptions to reflect the change.List of released entries with
