Hi Jan -
I believe that "ligand" in this case refers to small molecule ligands,
e.g. ATP or NADPH. If your ligand is a protein or even a peptide, I
think it belongs in the "protein" category. (Thus, you may have no
"ligand" atoms, unless you have bound sulfate, PEG, etc.)

Dear all,
I'm filling out my table for NSMB, about a structure of protein ligand
bound to a receptor. They ask for 3 different lines regarding number
of atoms & bfactor. 1) Protein 2) Ligand/Ion 3) Water.
Does my protein ligand belong to Protein or Ligand/Ion?
Thanks,
