Hello All,

I noticed some things different about the PDB today causing me to rub
my eyes vigorously and to put my nose right on my monitor in disbelief:

* -> ' for nucleic acid sugars
O#P -> OP# for the phosphate oxygens
C5A -> C7 for thymidine exocyclic methyl (didn't it used to be C5A?)

And who knows what else. In fact, my real question *is* "who knows
what else?" I looked at the RCSB site and googled PDB changes, etc,
but really couldn't find the low-down. Another question is how long
before it all changes again? I noticed some threads here with PDB in
the title recently, but didn't read them because I thought they
discussed esoteric and philosophical issues that do not affect us
common folk.

James
