For the record:-UNK is for unknown residues only. That means that you know that 
you are looking at an amino acid you just don't know which. You should assign 
element types. It used to be defined to CB (just like ALA), it now goes to CG. 
I don't see the point of this update.-UNL is for unknown hetero compounds.-UNX 
is for unknown solo atoms.-DN id for unknown deoxy nucleotide. Cheers,Robbie

Modeling more UNKNOWN atoms might be the future for these cases?

one needs to specify chemical element type in 77-78 position, otherwise these 
records are useless. 
But if you know the chemical element type then there's no point in calling it 
UNK.
BUSTER uses the scattering factors for oxygen for modelling X, on the grounds 
that you'll have put in an X because it doesn't look enough unlike water to be 
obviously something else.
