(Was it ever?) 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems?
