Don't get me  wrong -- I'm totally supportive of this effort. I just got
mixed up because I didn't realize that PDB had a different name for NAM than
what biochemists all know as NAM (AMU). So that was missing. Here's an
example (probably of no more than 8 examples total) of where NAM is NAM:

<!-- Jaime Prilusky Jul 1996 -->
<BODY><HTML><TITLE>PDB Full entry for 9LYZ</TITLE>
...
<PRE>HEADER    HYDROLASE (O-GLYCOSYL)                  06-DEC-79   9LYZ
9LYZ   3
COMPND    LYSOZYME (NAM-NAG-NAM SUBSTRATE ONLY) <A HREF="
http://expasy.hcuge.ch/cgi-bin/get-enzyme-entry?3.2.1.17";>(E.C.3.2.1.17)</A>
9LYZ   4
...
REMARK   5 CORRECTION. INSERT REVDAT RECORDS. 30-SEP-83.
9LYZA  4
SEQRES   1 S    3  NAM NAG NAM
9LYZ  27
<a href="/cgi-bin/send-het?NAM">HET    NAM</a>  S   1      19
2-ACETAMIDO-2-DEOXY-D-MURAMIC ACID        9LYZ  28
<a href="/cgi-bin/send-het?NAG">HET    NAG</a>  S   2      14
2-ACETAMIDO-2-DEOXY-D-GLUCOSE             9LYZ  29
<a href="/cgi-bin/send-het?NAM">HET    NAM</a>  S   3      20
2-ACETAMIDO-2-DEOXY-D-MURAMIC ACID        9LYZ  30
FORMUL   1  NAM    2(C11 H19 N1 O8)
9LYZ  31
FORMUL   2  NAG    C8 H11 N1 O6
9LYZ  32

But the new name for that is AMU, and I'm totally for only using that, and I
added it, along with the epimer of NAG, NDG.

Do we still then need NAM?
