What is the ‘My Structures’ service?

The ‘My Structures’ service is an enhancement to the CCDC’s online deposition platform. Once registered, you can use this feature to view your previously deposited structures, check their deposition status, and download or retrieve datasets at any time. You can also visualise published structures via the Access Structures service, share datasets with collaborators, and even ‘claim’ previously published structures to include in your view (subject to CCDC confirmation that you are a named author).

If you hold a CSD licence, in July 2019 we released functionality that allows you to create an in-house database from all, or a selection of, the datasets in your ‘My Structures’ view. Datasets can be reviewed and updated using our ‘CSD Editor’ software, available to download from our website. The data is written into a .csdsqlx database that can be used directly with Mercury, ConQuest and the CSD Python API. The CSD Editor software is available for licensed CSD users to download from our Download page alongside extensive documentation and an instructional video.
