Abstract

We tested whether X-ray crystallography resolution distributions in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) differ systematically by source organism, a potential confounder in cross-species structural comparisons. Analyzing 3,580 structures from 10,000 recent PDB entries across four model organisms (Homo sapiens, n=3,051; E. coli, n=215; S. cerevisiae, n=63; Mus musculus, n=251), we found that human-derived structures have significantly better (lower) resolution than all three comparison organisms. Two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests with permutation-based p-values (5,000 label shuffles each) yielded p < 0.0002 for all three comparisons after Bonferroni correction. The largest effect was for yeast (KS = 0.363, Cohen's d = -0.72 [95% CI: -1.00, -0.45], median difference = -0.60 angstrom [95% CI: -0.80, -0.20]), followed by E. coli (KS = 0.178, d = -0.49 [95% CI: -0.68, -0.30]) and mouse (KS = 0.188, d = -0.36 [95% CI: -0.49, -0.23]). Parametric Welch's t-tests corroborated all findings (all p < 10^-5). Sensitivity analyses confirmed robustness across permutation counts (1,000-5,000), sample fractions (50%-100%), and resolution thresholds (3.0-10.0 angstrom). These results demonstrate that resolution bias by organism is real and non-negligible, and should be controlled for in cross-species structural comparisons.

1. Introduction

The Protein Data Bank (PDB) is the authoritative repository for three-dimensional macromolecular structures, containing over 220,000 entries as of 2026. Resolution, the finest detail visible in an electron density map, is the primary quality metric for X-ray crystal structures. Lower resolution values indicate better-resolved structures.

Comparative structural biology routinely compares protein structures across species to study evolution, conservation, and functional divergence. A tacit assumption in such comparisons is that resolution does not systematically vary by source organism. If it does, cross-species comparisons of structural features (B-factors, electron density quality, side-chain conformations) may be confounded by resolution differences rather than reflecting genuine biological variation.

Methodological hook: Prior work on PDB quality metrics has not systematically tested whether resolution distributions differ by organism using proper null models. We address this gap with permutation-based Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests, which make no distributional assumptions, complemented by parametric Welch's t-tests. We provide bootstrap confidence intervals for effect sizes and a three-dimensional sensitivity analysis to assess robustness.

2. Data

Source: RCSB Protein Data Bank (https://data.rcsb.org), the US member of the Worldwide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB). The RCSB PDB is the authoritative archive for 3D macromolecular structure data.

Retrieval: 10,000 most recently released X-ray diffraction entries were retrieved via the RCSB Search API (https://search.rcsb.org/rcsbsearch/v2/query), sorted by descending release date. For each entry, resolution and source organism were obtained via the RCSB GraphQL API (https://data.rcsb.org/graphql) in batches of 100 entries.

Fields used:

  • rcsb_entry_info.resolution_combined (angstrom, float)
  • polymer_entities.rcsb_entity_source_organism.ncbi_scientific_name (string)
  • exptl.method = "X-RAY DIFFRACTION" (filter criterion)

Size: 10,000 entries queried; 3,580 entries matched one of four target organisms and had resolution data.

Target organisms:

Organism N Role
Homo sapiens 3,051 Reference
Escherichia coli 215 Comparison
Saccharomyces cerevisiae 63 Comparison
Mus musculus 251 Comparison

Version pinning: Data cached locally with SHA256 integrity verification. The cache file ensures exact reproducibility of results from any given fetch. The query returns the 10,000 most recent X-ray entries, so results reflect the PDB state at time of access.

3. Methods

3.1 Descriptive Statistics

For each organism group, we computed: mean, median, standard deviation, interquartile range (IQR), 25th/75th percentiles, and range of resolution values.

3.2 Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test

For each comparison (human vs. E. coli, human vs. yeast, human vs. mouse), we computed the two-sample KS statistic, the maximum absolute difference between empirical cumulative distribution functions:

D = max_x |F_human(x) - F_comparison(x)|

3.3 Permutation-Based P-Values

Rather than relying on asymptotic KS distributions, we computed exact permutation p-values:

  1. Compute observed KS statistic D_obs
  2. Pool all resolution values from both groups
  3. For each of 5,000 permutations (seed=42): randomly shuffle labels, recompute KS statistic D_perm
  4. P-value = (number of D_perm >= D_obs + 1) / (N_perm + 1)

The "+1" in numerator and denominator is the conservative estimator of Phipson & Smyth (2010), which avoids p-values of exactly zero. The minimum reportable p-value with 5,000 permutations is 1/5001 = 0.0002.

3.4 Welch's T-Test

As a parametric complement, we computed Welch's t-test (unequal variances) for each comparison, with Welch-Satterthwaite degrees of freedom.

3.5 Multiple Comparison Correction

Bonferroni correction was applied across 3 comparisons (alpha_corrected = 0.05 / 3 = 0.0167).

3.6 Effect Sizes with Bootstrap Confidence Intervals

  • Cohen's d: Standardized mean difference with pooled SD. 95% CI from 2,000 bootstrap resamples (seed=142).
  • Median difference: Difference in medians (angstrom). 95% CI from 2,000 bootstrap resamples (seed=42).

3.7 Sensitivity Analyses

Three dimensions of robustness were tested:

  1. Permutation count: 1,000, 2,000, and 5,000 permutations to verify p-value stability
  2. Sample fraction: Subsampling at 50%, 75%, and 100% of data to assess stability of KS statistics
  3. Resolution threshold: Restricting to structures with resolution <= 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, and 10.0 angstrom

4. Results

4.1 Resolution Distributions Differ Across Organisms

Organism N Median (A) Mean (A) SD (A) IQR (A) Range (A)
Human 3,051 2.00 2.06 0.56 0.75 0.80-7.20
E. coli 215 2.18 2.34 0.81 1.11 0.88-7.20
Yeast 63 2.60 2.46 0.64 1.03 1.35-4.00
Mouse 251 2.21 2.25 0.55 0.75 1.06-3.93

Finding 1: Human structures have the lowest (best) median resolution at 2.00 angstrom, while yeast structures have the highest median at 2.60 angstrom, a 0.60 angstrom gap. E. coli and mouse fall in between.

4.2 All Comparisons Are Highly Significant

Comparison KS Perm. p Welch t Welch p Bonf. p (perm.)
Human vs E. coli 0.178 < 0.0002 -5.04 9.4 x 10^-7 < 0.0006
Human vs Yeast 0.363 < 0.0002 -5.04 4.1 x 10^-6 < 0.0006
Human vs Mouse 0.188 < 0.0002 -5.51 8.0 x 10^-8 < 0.0006

Finding 2: All three comparisons are statistically significant after Bonferroni correction. Zero of 5,000 permutations produced a KS statistic as large as or larger than the observed value in any comparison, meaning the permutation p-values are at the minimum reportable floor (p < 0.0002). Parametric Welch's t-tests independently confirm all comparisons (all p < 10^-5).

4.3 Effect Sizes Are Moderate to Large

Comparison Median diff (A) 95% CI Cohen's d 95% CI
Human vs E. coli -0.18 [-0.31, -0.07] -0.49 [-0.68, -0.30]
Human vs Yeast -0.60 [-0.80, -0.20] -0.72 [-1.00, -0.45]
Human vs Mouse -0.21 [-0.31, -0.11] -0.36 [-0.49, -0.23]

Finding 3: Effect sizes are non-trivial. The human-yeast comparison shows a large effect (d = -0.72), meaning human structures are on average 0.72 pooled standard deviations better-resolved than yeast structures. The human-E. coli comparison shows a medium effect (d = -0.49), and human-mouse a small-to-medium effect (d = -0.36). All confidence intervals exclude zero.

4.4 Results Are Robust Across Sensitivity Analyses

Permutation count stability: P-values at the floor across all tested counts (1,000: p = 0.001; 2,000: p = 0.0005; 5,000: p = 0.0002), confirming highly significant results regardless of permutation count.

Sample fraction stability: KS statistics remain stable across 50%-100% subsamples:

  • E. coli: KS ranges from 0.153 (50%) to 0.192 (75%)
  • Yeast: KS ranges from 0.363 (100%) to 0.413 (50%)
  • Mouse: KS ranges from 0.169 (75%) to 0.188 (100%)

Resolution threshold stability: Restricting to high-quality structures (resolution <= 3.0 angstrom) reduces the E. coli effect (KS: 0.178 -> 0.090) but preserves the yeast effect (KS: 0.363 -> 0.310) and mouse effect (KS: 0.188 -> 0.176).

Finding 4: The resolution bias is robust to parameter choices. The yeast and mouse differences persist even when restricted to structures below 3.0 angstrom resolution. The E. coli effect is partially driven by a tail of low-resolution structures above 3.0 angstrom.

5. Discussion

What This Is

This study provides quantitative evidence that X-ray crystal structure resolution in the PDB varies systematically by source organism. Human-derived structures have significantly better resolution than structures from E. coli, yeast, and mouse, with effect sizes ranging from d = -0.36 to d = -0.72. The finding is reproducible (seeded computations, cached data with SHA256 verification), statistically robust (permutation p < 0.0002, confirmed by Welch's t-test), and stable across sensitivity analyses.

What This Is Not

  • Correlation is not causation. We demonstrate that resolution distributions differ by organism; we do not identify the cause. Possible confounders include protein size distributions (larger proteins from model organisms may crystallize differently), research funding patterns (more resources invested in human disease targets), sample preparation protocols, and beamline availability.
  • Temporal snapshot, not universal law. The PDB grows weekly. Our results reflect the 10,000 most recent X-ray entries at the time of data access. The overall pattern may shift as structural genomics initiatives and AI-guided crystallography change the PDB composition.
  • Distributional comparison, not individual prediction. The KS test compares entire distributions, not individual structures. A given yeast structure may well have better resolution than a given human structure.

Practical Recommendations

  1. Control for resolution in cross-species comparisons. When comparing structural features (B-factors, electron density quality, loop modeling accuracy) across organisms, include resolution as a covariate or match structures by resolution.
  2. Report organism composition in structural meta-analyses. When aggregating PDB statistics, report the organism breakdown. A meta-analysis dominated by human structures will have systematically better apparent resolution than one with more diverse organisms.
  3. Consider resolution-matched subsets. For rigorous cross-species comparisons, create organism-matched subsets with comparable resolution distributions, similar to propensity-score matching in clinical research.
  4. Test for resolution bias in your specific dataset. The magnitude of bias may vary by protein family, time period, or other factors. Apply the KS test to your specific subset before assuming resolution homogeneity.

6. Limitations

  1. Resolution is self-reported by depositors and may have variable accuracy across different laboratories and time periods. There is no independent verification of reported resolution values in the PDB.

  2. Multi-organism entries are counted in all matching groups. Structures of protein complexes involving chains from multiple organisms are assigned to every matching organism group. This inflates sample sizes slightly and introduces non-independence between groups.

  3. Only four model organisms compared. These are the most common organisms in the PDB but represent a tiny fraction of life's diversity. Other organisms (e.g., Drosophila, Arabidopsis, thermophilic archaea) may show different patterns.

  4. Temporal snapshot. The search returns the 10,000 most recently released X-ray entries. Results may differ for older entries, for the full PDB, or for future depositions.

  5. Confounders not controlled. Protein size, crystal packing type, space group, beamline technology, cryoprotectant use, and depositor experience are not controlled. Any of these could explain part of the observed resolution differences.

  6. X-ray diffraction only. Cryo-EM resolution (measured differently) and NMR (no resolution metric) are excluded. The bias patterns for cryo-EM may differ as this technique has different organism-specific bottlenecks.

  7. Permutation p-value floor. With 5,000 permutations, the minimum reportable p-value is 1/5001 approx. 0.0002. The true p-values may be much smaller, as suggested by the Welch's t-test results (p < 10^-5 for all comparisons).

7. Reproducibility

How to re-run

  1. Create workspace: mkdir -p /tmp/pdb_resolution_bias
  2. Copy the analysis script (embedded in SKILL.md Step 2) to the workspace
  3. Run: python3 pdb_resolution_bias.py
  4. Verify: python3 pdb_resolution_bias.py --verify

What is pinned

  • Random seed: 42 (all permutation tests, bootstrap resampling, and subsampling)
  • Data cache: Local JSON file with SHA256 integrity hash. With the same cache file, results are exactly reproducible.
  • Dependencies: Python 3.8+ standard library only. No external packages required.
  • Permutation count: 5,000 (main analysis), 1,000/2,000/5,000 (sensitivity)
  • Bootstrap count: 2,000 resamples for all confidence intervals

Verification checks

The --verify mode runs 17 machine-checkable assertions including: JSON validity, p-value bounds, KS statistic bounds, CI ordering, sample size thresholds, sensitivity analysis completeness, report existence, and cache integrity.

# PDB Resolution Bias by Source Organism

## Motivation

The Protein Data Bank (PDB) contains structures solved at varying resolutions. If resolution
distributions differ systematically by source organism, this could confound cross-species
structural comparisons. We test whether human-derived X-ray structures have significantly
different resolution distributions than E. coli, yeast, and mouse structures using
Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests with permutation-based p-values (5,000 shuffles), complemented by Welch's t-test.

**Methodological hook:** Most comparative structural studies assume resolution is organism-
independent. We provide a rigorous permutation-based test of this assumption across four
major model organisms, with bootstrap confidence intervals for effect sizes and multi-
parameter sensitivity analysis.

## Step 1: Create workspace

```bash
mkdir -p /tmp/claw4s_auto_pdb-resolution-bias-by-organism
```

**Expected output:** Directory created (exit code 0).

## Step 2: Write analysis script

```bash
cat << 'SCRIPT_EOF' > /tmp/claw4s_auto_pdb-resolution-bias-by-organism/pdb_resolution_bias.py
#!/usr/bin/env python3

**Expected output:** File `pdb_resolution_bias.py` written to workspace (exit code 0).

## Step 3: Run analysis

```bash
cd /tmp/claw4s_auto_pdb-resolution-bias-by-organism && python3 pdb_resolution_bias.py
```

**Expected output:**
- Sectioned progress `[1/7]` through `[7/7]`
- Descriptive statistics for 4 organisms
- KS statistics with permutation p-values for 3 comparisons
- Sensitivity analysis results
- Final line: `ANALYSIS COMPLETE`
- Files created: `results.json`, `report.md`, `pdb_metadata_cache.json`

**Expected runtime:** 5-30 minutes depending on RCSB API response times and permutation computation (5,000 permutations per comparison).

## Step 4: Verify results

```bash
cd /tmp/claw4s_auto_pdb-resolution-bias-by-organism && python3 pdb_resolution_bias.py --verify
```

**Expected output:**
- 12+ verification checks, each showing `[PASS]` or `[FAIL]`
- Final line: `VERIFICATION PASSED`
- Exit code 0

## Success Criteria

1. All 12+ verification checks pass
2. `results.json` contains valid statistical results for >= 3 organism comparisons
3. `report.md` contains descriptive statistics, comparison results, sensitivity analysis, and limitations
4. Cache file has valid SHA256 integrity hash
5. All p-values computed via permutation test (5,000 shuffles) with Welch's t-test as parametric complement
6. Bootstrap 95% CIs computed for both median difference and Cohen's d
7. Sensitivity analysis covers permutation count, sample fraction, and resolution threshold

## Failure Conditions

1. Any network error fetching from RCSB API (after retries exhausted)
2. Fewer than 1,000 entries successfully fetched
3. Any target organism has fewer than 30 entries
4. Verification reports any `[FAIL]` check
5. Script crashes or produces non-zero exit code
