Sorry, I don't remember the ID. I noticed it while investigating the
"Chemical Component Dictionary" of the wwPDB and it will be difficult to
find it again within about 7000 structures. Since I have to use bonding
information from the dictionary in order to be able to color the bond
types individually I didn't pay much attention to it.
But as far as I remember it were plain C-H bonds and one of the carbons
had five bonds because of this. And the dictionary also showed different
bonds. (The distance of the hydrogen to the carbons was nearly identical.)

Rolf
