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.

GOL is a 3-character ligand code (for glycerol), and A1A8V is a 5-character ligand code. "501:D" means residue number 501 in chain D.
