11. Primary failure mode of DVDs

12. 3000 files remain unrecoverable (~0.1%)

13. Which data go with which PDB? 260,000 images are called “test” cell: 48 62 84 90 101 104 – is within 5 Å and 5° of 16,000 PDBs focusing on 2001-2006 490 PDBs credit ALS 8.3.1 with data 44 of these didn’t actually collect data 64 collected data, but no credit

16. MAD/SAD datasets R iso vs PDB deposit best R cryst after rigid-body refinement Published non-isomorphous Unsolved?

17. Responses to inquiries “I have to find my old note book as I have no idea what that is.” “I have changed jobs a few times since and am really far away from crystallography now.” “Will see what I can find.” “We solved it but never published it. Sorry!”

18. EGDA Dec 01 19:45:12 2001 egda46_*1_E#_###.img (1112 images, Se MAD) Dec 02 15:10:06 2001 egda27_*1_###.img (180, 1A, native?) Dec 02 19:21:55 2001 egdau1_*1_###.img (427, 8000eV (U?)

No structure was ever published James, xxx was unable to solve the structure from these data.”

19. ~2.9 Å P2 1 2 1 2 R = 0.32 R free = 0.39 PDB ID: ???? E. coli guanine deaminase

20. Responses to inquiries “Thank you for your effort, it looks like the "elves" have brought an early Christmas present.... I think it is worth depositing of course, it would be a shame to do the difficult part and avoid the easiest. ”

21. Metadata: can we rely on it? Duquerroy, et al. (1994). "Lobster enolase crystallized by serendipity", Proteins: Struct., Funct., Bioinf. 18, 390-393. authors were after lobster arginine kinase got enolase instead arginine kinase structure still unknown

22. compresses 4.2x raw image

23. compresses 337x just spots

24. compresses 5x, but only one per dataset! pixel-wise median across dataset

25. compresses 3.5x deviation from median in “non-spot” areas

26. compressed ~50x after h264 of non-spot areas

27. compresses 5.2x difference between raw and compressed

28. Lossy compression vs R/R free R factor compression ratio

29. backblaze.com “pod” server backblaze.com offers “unlimited storage” data backup for $5/month.

30. backblaze offers “unlimited storage” data backup for $5/month.

31. backblaze does not sell these “pods”, but “protocase.com” does.

33. Summary saving data could double productivity unit cell is not a good score lossy compression: rallying cry? backup vs archive metadata: what do we really know?

34. Brief Summary this is a lot of work. who is going to pay for it?
