Regarding Unknown Nucleic residues "N": (See also UNK for unknown AAs.) May 2024: PDB has 96 entries with N. 6 are in "Nucleic only". N13,14 in chain A in 7e9e as phosphoribose. cf 6e1w. 8 are in "Protein only" as ligands: "Any 5'-monophosphate nucleotide". In 1g9s,1phw,3dzi(AU),8u0z, modeled as phosphoribose. 82 are in "Protein/NA". 1dva has a long chain of N's modeled as phosphoribose. Jmol.jar cannot render it as cartoon, trace, backbone. I think this is because the absence of base atoms make these not
