John: I recently (22-Nov) pointed out to Paul Emsley that if one entered potassium through the popup menu, it places the "K" of potassium in the wrong column of a PDB file, column 13 rather than column 14. The element is right-justified, so single letter elements use only column 14, but two let

Santhosh: Modern molecular replacement programs, e.g. PHASER and MOLREP, look for and take, at least translational, NCS into account. Modern refinement programs, e.g. BUSTER, REFMAC, and PHENIX.REFINE, use LSSR (Local Structure Similarity Restraints) for NCS and improve geometry to resolutions

All: Why the concern for unassigned three-letter codes? The wwPDB isn’t going to let you assign a three-letter code, it will choose its own code. At BMS (a pharmaceutical company), we do many hundreds of structures a year with ligands and we assign the same, already assigned, three-letter code
