I have a question about B-factors and occupancies of side chains - I am working on a 2.8 A structure which is missing density for some of the side chains (especially the floppy ones like Lysine/Argenine, Glutamine) in loop regions and the B-factors for these side chains are over 100. I was

I usually leave them in although their position is so uncertain; they probably have multiple conformations but that is hard to model at 2.8A . But that is not a hard and fast rule - lots of people set the occupancy to 0.00 and check whether the later maps give better guideance.. Eleanor On 21

Dear all, What's the correct way to build and refine sugar polymers? I am currently building several structures with different kinds of sugar polymers bound to them. Searching for similar ligands in the PDB, I end up with e.g. trisaccharides that are named as one molecule, even though they are

Dear Folmer, I build them from monomers like NAG, MAN, FUC etc. It used to be quite messy (reason why people put in triscaccharides??) but works fine nowadays. You have to put in LINK records to specify the connections and remove the oxygen which gets replaced by the link (usually O1). There

Concerning the naming as one molecule: the sugar monomers get the same chain ID as the protein they are connected to and arbitrary residue numbers. I usually start numbering from 1000 to prevent overlap with the numbering of the amino acids. HS. From:

We might have just found a new recurring discussion - what to do with insertion codes! I am sure the opinion split is close to 50/50. Personally, I don't think insertion codes make sense in the first place. Are catalytic triad residues always the same distance from the N-terminus? No. The

Dear Ed, I do not think there is any split opinion as far as users are concerned: Programs that pay attention to insertion codes will also handle regular pdb files correctly so nothing changes for the users. The advantage is that in the odd case one loads a vintage pdb file with insertion codes,

Hi Folmer, RAF is in the PDB ligand dictionary with status 'REL' so you can use it. If RAF is a subset of something bigger, then perhaps you should use monosaccharide building blocks. If in doubt, ask a PDB annotator. Anyway, PDB-care will check whether the connectivity in a compound named RAF
