Thanks f your reply, Dr.

I wanted to do PCA analysis on this x-ray structures compilation. Does that
mean I need to pretreat (i.e. fixing missing residues) those PDBs before
compiling it?


Yes, or otherwise analyze a subset of atoms that corresponds to some common portion of all the proteins. If you insert missing residues, then they have artificial positions; this may flaw your analysis. Actual simulations may be better than just hacking together a bunch of incomplete X-ray structures.
