Following my previous message:


> >     "H5T", // 45 - 5' terminus hydrogen which replaces P + O1P + O2P
> >     "O5T", // 46 - 5' terminus oxygen which replaces P + O1P + O2P

"Terminal protons should be labeled HO5' and HO3' instead of H5T and
H3T."
Looks like a sound opinion, it's a wwPDB discussion list:
http://wwpdb-remediation.rutgers.edu/mail-archive/msg00014.html

Haven't found anthing about O5T. Maybe just plain O5 prime ?


Another good source of info, finally:
http://www.wwpdb.org/documentation/format3.1-20070719.pdf
on page 22 (last):

"[new names acc. to IUPAC] with the exception of the well-established convention for Cterminal atoms OXT and HXT "

" Deoxy- and ribose nucleotides now have separate chemical definitions with
the DNA forms relabeled as DA, DC, DG, DT, DI and DU. "

(This we already knew.)


"Modified nucleotides formerly identified as using the “plus-nucleotide” syntax (e.g. +C, +G) have been relabeled with the particular 3-letter code corresponding to the full chemical description of the modified nucleotide. "

(Bob, this may also affect Jmol; I seem to remember that +C etc. are used in JmolConstants.java)

" • - Atom names begin with their element symbol.
-• Heavy atom names follow the traditional PDB justification rules in
which the atom element symbol is right justified in the second
character position of the 4-character atom name. 4-character
names for atoms with 1-character element symbols have been
compressed to 3 characters.
-• Hydrogen atoms names all begin with “H” and are not subject to the
justification rule. "

(not sure if this justification stuff affects Jmol)


>From reading this, I understand that some trouble we have had occasionally with hydrogen atom names that had numbers before the H (and were fixed on the go by Bob) will no longer appear.
