Dear Marcin,

It turns out that the wheels of PDB deposition have turned very slowly since I left the CCPN project. The agreement between the PDB, BioMagResBank and CCPN was as I have described, but I gather that it has since turned out that the PDB cannot accept NMR submissions as originally agreed, since the _atom_site.auth_atom_id requires an IUPAC atom name, and NMR depositions have to use non-IUPAC names. Apparently a different tag has been agreed now, _atom_site.pdbx_atom_ambiguity, but I am not sure if it has been populated in the PDB yet. So I withdraw my original comment.

If you are particularly interested in NMR protein structures, the CCPN (ccpn.ac.uk) would be the place to go.

Yours,
Rasmus

Hi Rasmus,

The two parallel sets of chain, residue, and atom names are actually
necessary for NMR structures - it is not just to keep the depositors
happy.

Is there a PDB entry that exemplifies this?
I admit I don't know how the chemical-shift based naming works, but I
see that both sets of atom names (and both sets of residue names) are
always identical, so they can't carry additional information.

Best wishes
Marcin
