Dear Developers.

 

how is such a line in a PDB file

 

HETATM 3832  UNK UNX A 305      28.236  22.955   0.319  1.00 31.94           X

What atom  kind is implied?

 

I find (i) 12 sigma positive difference peaks under these UNXes

when fetching  cords and EDS with coot, informing me of (ii) an U atom

with a water-like B-factor there (those are on fact largely waters).

Conditions (i) and (ii) are quite incompatible….

 

They also show up as ligands with high LLDFs in the PDBe report.

 

I have no beef in this model, UNK lines like those just mess up my

data mining (and then some). PDB_REDO seems to deal graciously with it

or at least handles it without crash.

 

Cheers, BR
