Browsing backwards through a dozen or so of the most recent UNK-containing 
structures, I haven't found a counter-example yet - apart from those where the 
UNK residues are a single contiguous stretch and given their own chain ID. So a 
recent problem?

Doesn't seem to be the case for all instances: that table isn't present in 5BV0 
despite the N-terminal residues of Nyv1 being modeled as UNK in the 
Vps16:Vps33:Nyv1 complex due to a symmetry overlap.  Nyv1, C165-179 are UNK 
with partial occupancy, which is the N-terminal part of the model for that 
chain, then there's a gap of 3 missing residues, and then there's polypeptide 
model which we've assigned to sequence, all in the same chain.

Not sure if the missing table is something that turned up after the deposition 
date (June 2015), or if it's related to the missing residues between the UNK 
segment and the defined amino acids.

Subject: [ccp4bb] Bug in mmCIF handling of UNK residues?

Hi all,

If I open (as far as I can tell) the mmCIF for any structure in the wwPDB that 
contains both defined amino acids and UNK in the same chain, then the UNK 
section is treated as covalently bonded to the flanking sequence. This appears 
to be a bug in the mmCIF generation itself, not in the viewing software 
(ChimeraX, in this case): if I look in 7kzn as a random example, I see:


loop_
_pdbx_validate_polymer_linkage.id
_pdbx_validate_polymer_linkage.PDB_model_num
_pdbx_validate_polymer_linkage.auth_atom_id_1

2 1 C X UNK 396 ? ? N X UNK 403 ? ? 28.65
3 1 C Y UNK 281 ? ? N Y UNK 284 ? ? 6.72
4 1 C Y UNK 387 ? ? N Y UNK 394 ? ? 22.26
5 1 C Y UNK 420 ? ? N Y UNK 424 ? ? 12.82


Considering that the coords themselves generally seem fine, I guess this is 
happening post deposition?

Best regards,

Tristan
