Dear Dirk,
I see your point regarding the documentations, PDB is vast..
What exactly would you like to have?

Hello Miri,
yes, but if you look into these documents, they don't contain a good
dictionary of the usual compounds. They either have the broken link that I've
mentioned or point to the ftp-site with its cryptic collection.
Anyway, thanks for the pointer.
Best regards,
Dirk.

Dear Dirk,
By coincidence, I was talking on Tuesday to Jawahar Swaminathan (at PDBe
at the EBI), mentioning that I'd had trouble tracking down the
documentation, and he forwarded me a link:
http://www.wwpdb.org/documentation/format32/v3.2.html
Hopefully that has the information you need.
Regards,
Randy

Dear CCP4ers,
I'm desperately trying to dig out a good documentation of the new PDB 3.2
nomenclature on www.wwpdb.org, but find myself running in circles. There
is even a broken link to the nomenclature file
http://remediation.wwpdb.org/downloads/Components-rel-alt.cif. The other
link, ftp://ftp.wwpdb.org/pub/pdb/data/monomers, is a cryptic collection
of compounds.
Why isn't there a document for PDB 3.2 that covers the main dictionaries
for amino acids, nucleic acids, sugars, water and so on (maybe with a
useful link to more exotic compounds) like for the old PDB 2.3?
Currently, I have to rely on the "remediator" program from the Richardson
lab for that, without even knowing whether it is always correct. How
could I possibly write a program that reads/writes PDB 3.2 files
correctly?
I would be very grateful for any useful document.
Best regards,
Dirk.
