CATH 4.3 Chain-Level Dataset

Chain-level protein structures derived from the CATH 4.3 S40 non-redundant dataset. CATH distributes structures as seven-character domain entries (for example 2efiA00); this dataset provides five-character chain-level entries (2efiA), together with the corresponding single-chain PDB files.

The dataset was assembled for ProteinZero but is released independently of it.

Contents

Split Structures
train 22,761
validation 1,040
test 985
total 24,786

Structure identifiers do not overlap across the three splits. Sequence lengths range from 40 to 3,042 residues.

The archive contains:

  • metadata.csv — one row per structure
  • 15 reference partition files
  • pdbs/{train,val,test}/ — one single-chain PDB file per structure
  • DATASET.md — full documentation

metadata.csv

Field Definition
structure_id Five-character chain identifier: four-character PDB accession followed by the chain identifier (case-sensitive)
seq Amino-acid sequence
length Number of residues in seq
split train, val, or test

Reference partitions

Each split provides one complete file and four disjoint length subsets:

{train,val,test}_data.csv           all structures in the split
{train,val,test}_data_le100.csv     at most 100 residues
{train,val,test}_data_101-300.csv   101-300 residues
{train,val,test}_data_301-500.csv   301-500 residues
{train,val,test}_data_ge501.csv     at least 501 residues

The four subsets are mutually exclusive and their union equals the corresponding complete file. Alternative partitions can be constructed directly from the length field in metadata.csv.

Provenance

Derived from the CATH 4.3 S40 non-redundant set: https://download.cathdb.info/cath/releases/all-releases/v4_3_0/non-redundant-data-sets/

CATH domain records were aggregated to chain level, with full chains retrieved from RCSB where needed. Each PDB file contains only the chain identified by the fifth character of its filename. Chain identifiers are case-sensitive.

Notes on downstream use

Sequence-length constraints apply when this dataset is used with the InstructPLM pretrained model, as in ProteinZero. These are properties of that model, not of the dataset:

  • above 512 residues, the structure encoder silently truncates the structure representation to its first 512 positions;
  • above 766 residues, the model input (256 structure tokens, two sentinel tokens, and L residue tokens) exceeds the 1,024-token attention window;
  • above 1,000 residues, the ESMFold-based reward path is skipped.

The dataset is released across its full observed length range to support use beyond that codebase. See DATASET.md in the archive for details.
