==PDB KEYWDS and LINK Records==


Structures containing isopeptide bonds usually have "ISOPEPTIDE BOND" in their PDB file KEYWDS record, and sometimes have LINK records (or _struct_conn in their [[Atomic coordinate file|mmCIF]] files) indicating the isopeptide-bonded residues. Here are the relevant LINK records from [[3htl]]:<pre>

Note that link records involving MSE ([[selenomethionine]]) generally signify nothing more than MSE being part of a polypeptide chain, but are required because the HETATM MSE residue is covalently linked to the adjacent standard amino acids.

===Unspecified Isopeptide Bonds===


Some structures that contain isopeptide bonds lack LINK/_struct_conn records describing these bonds. For example, [[1fma]] has an isopeptide bond between Lys118 chain E, and the carboxy-terminal Gly81 in chain D; [[5jqf]] has an isopepide bond between Asp9 and NH<sub>3</sub> on the amino-terminal Gly1. Neither has LINK /_struct_conn records for their isopeptide bonds.
