Hi all,
during deposition of structures the water numbering is frequently changed.
I would love to keep specific numbers for critical water molecules e.g.
in an active site in related proteins (mutants, ligand soaks), to
facilitate easier discussion in a manuscript.

Is there a general agreement how to treat these?

One way to deal with this is would be to use an arbitrary offset:
A1-A233 protein
A301 ligand
A302 another ligand
A401-404 4 special waters
A500- general solvent

Any input welcome ;-)
All the best,
Eckhard
