===Why would you need an unremediated version of a pdb file?===
===Why would you need an unremediated version of a pdb file?===
A large change made in the course of remediation was the distinction between ribonucleotides (A, C, G, I, T, U) and deoxyribonucleotides (DA, DC, DG, DI, DT, DU). The main reason for getting unremediated PDB files is that when the remediated PDB files contain DNA, Protein Explorer (and perhaps some other software) does not display the DNA properly. If the PDB file does not contain DNA (protein, RNA, solvent and ligands are OK), you probably don't need the unremediated file. If a PDB file was published after August 1, 2007, it will not be available in unremediated form.
