===Caution: Ligand Names May Be Wrong===
If your .cif file had 5-character ligand codes (instead of or in addition to 3-character ligand codes), conversion will truncate those 5-character codes to their first three characters.
(5-character ligand names were introduced after all 3-character codes were in use.)
For example, the ligand code A1EJM in [[9L63]] will be truncated to A1E in the converted PDB file. FirstGlance will handle it correctly except that under ''Ligands and Non-Standard Residues'' (in the Molecule Information Tab), '''the link (=?) will display the wrong chemical structure'''; namely, it will display ligand A1E instead of A1EJM.
To display the chemical structure of a ligand with a 5-character code, go to [http://rcsb.org RCSB.org] and enter the 5-character code into the search slot at the top, then press Enter.
To list all the ligand codes in your .cif file, after dropping the .cif file into the black window of Jmol.jar, enter these two '''bold commands''' in the white window:
<pre>
<span style="color:magenta;">$</span> '''select ligands'''
</pre>
