{"doi":"10.1038/s41597-024-03299-9","title":"Cryo2StructData: A Large Labeled Cryo-EM Density Map Dataset for AI-based Modeling of Protein Structures","abstract":"The advent of single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has brought forth a new era of structural biology, enabling the routine determination of large biological molecules and their complexes at atomic resolution. The high-resolution structures of biological macromolecules and their complexes significantly expedite biomedical research and drug discovery. However, automatically and accurately building atomic models from high-resolution cryo-EM density maps is still time-consuming and challenging when template-based models are unavailable. Artificial intelligence (AI) methods such as deep learning trained on limited amount of labeled cryo-EM density maps generate inaccurate atomic models. To address this issue, we created a dataset called Cryo2StructData consisting of 7,600 preprocessed cryo-EM density maps whose voxels are labelled according to their corresponding known atomic structures for training and testing AI methods to build atomic models from cryo-EM density maps. Cryo2StructData is larger than existing, publicly available datasets for training AI methods to build atomic protein structures from cryo-EM density maps. We trained and tested deep learning models on Cryo2StructData to validate its quality showing that it is ready for being used to train and test AI methods for building atomic models.","journal":"Scientific Data","year":2024,"id":484049,"datarank":0.570951070552537,"base_score":2.995732273553991,"endowment":2.995732273553991,"self_citation_contribution":0.4493598410330987,"citation_network_contribution":0.12159122951943836,"self_endowment_contribution":0.4493598410330987,"citer_contribution":0.12159122951943836,"corpus_percentile":65.6455480776669,"corpus_rank":4442,"citation_count":19,"citer_count":11,"citers_with_citation_signal":6,"citers_with_endowment":6,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":true,"is_dataset_confidence":0.8495,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2024-01-01","fair_score":77.0833,"fair_percentile":97.3096912259248,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":275756,"name":"Liguo Wang","orcid":"0000-0002-7095-5983","position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":236517,"name":"Jianlin Cheng","orcid":"0000-0003-0305-2853","position":2,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":806841,"name":"Nabin Giri","orcid":"0000-0002-0251-3956","position":0,"is_corresponding":true}],"reference_count":44,"raw_metadata":null,"created_at":"2026-07-19T02:07:38.055693Z","pmid":"38710720","pmcid":"PMC11074267","fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":100.0,"fair_a":75.0,"fair_i":80.0,"fair_r":54.1667,"fair_zscore":1.6875,"fair_rationale":{"fair_score":77.08,"has_llm":true,"taxonomy_version":"fair_taxonomy_v5","dimensions":{"F":{"name":"Findable","score":100.0,"criteria":[{"key":"f_dataset_pid","label":"Persistent identifier for the data","kind":"llm","weight":2.0,"fraction":1.0,"verdict":"yes","evidence":"https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/FCDG0W","grounded":true,"rationale":"The paper provides a DOI for the dataset.","anchors":["RDA-F1-01D — FAIR Data Maturity Model: 'Data is identified by a persistent identifier' (priorit","RDA-F1-02D — FAIR Data Maturity Model: 'Data is identified by a globally unique identifier'","FsF-F1-02D — F-UJI/FAIRsFAIR: 'Data is assigned a persistent identifier'"],"scored":true,"signal":null},{"key":"f_repository_named","label":"Named repository","kind":"llm","weight":2.0,"fraction":1.0,"verdict":"yes","evidence":"Harvard Dataverse","grounded":true,"rationale":"The paper names Harvard Dataverse as the repository holding the data.","anchors":["RDA-F4-01M — FAIR Data Maturity Model: metadata is offered so it can be harvested and indexed (","NIH DMS Policy Element 4 (NOT-OD-21-014) — name the repository where data will be archived","NSTC Desirable Characteristics of Data Repositories (2022) — 'Long-Term Sustainability', 'Reten"],"scored":true,"signal":null},{"key":"f_data_availability_statement","label":"Data-availability statement","kind":"llm","weight":2.0,"fraction":1.0,"verdict":"yes","evidence":"The Cryo2StructData Dataverse comprises the Full Cryo2StructData, referred to as Cryo2StructData: Full Dataset 13 (https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/FCDG0W), along with its associated trained deep transformer model and data splits, referred as Cryo2StructData: Trained Model and Data Splits (Full) 34 (https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/SXNYRE).","grounded":true,"rationale":"The statement points to a repository record with a DOI.","anchors":["Colavizza, Hrynaszkiewicz, Staden, Whitaker & McGillivray (2020), 'The citation advantage of li","Springer Nature research data policy — Data Availability Statements: standard statement templat","RDA-F3-01M — metadata clearly and explicitly includes the identifier of the data it describes"],"scored":false,"signal":null},{"key":"f_discovery_metadata","label":"Description of the dataset as an object","kind":"llm","weight":2.0,"fraction":1.0,"verdict":"yes","evidence":"The following data files for each cryo-EM density map are provided in its individual directory:","grounded":true,"rationale":"The paper includes an itemized inventory of the dataset contents.
