Here's my two cents:

I think YES, and suspect O1 is not needed for remediated files (but we must 
leave it for the 
old ones)

In my opinion, thee desn't seem to be a problem with any of the 20 amino acids; 
changes in 
names affect only hydrogen or deuterium (the others are fixes of wrongly 
identified atoms).

I think YES
Only O5 is checked?

Worrying, yes

Well, I guess it was since all of us were selecting backbone all the time.
The only significant changes I've detected for proteins (details sent to Bob 
off-list) are 
terminal amino hydrogens and glycine alpha hydrogens. For nucleics, I reported 
yesterday.


Hope it helps and we'll have a shiny 11.4 fully PDB v2- and v3-compatible.

I'm still  amazed at how the wwPDB people have done the remediation and there 
is no such 
thing as a document listing atom name changes. The "dictionary" is unworkable 
(has 
molecules, or residues, not atoms). Or I'm being very dense.
