The distinction between ribonucleotides (A, C, G, I | The distinction between ribonucleotides (A, C, G, I, U) and deoxyribonucleotides (DA, DC, DG, DI, DT, DU<ref name="du" />) was first made when the PDB was remediated, effective August 1, 2007. The unremediated files can still be obtained, see [[Getting Unremediated PDB Files]]. | ||
Note that, in [[Jmol]], A, C, G, I, T, U select nucleotides in either DNA or RNA for backward compatibility, while DA, DC, DG, DI, DT, and DU select only DNA nucleotides. You can select RNA nucleotides with e.g. "(A, U) and RNA". | Note that, in [[Jmol]], A, C, G, I, T, U select nucleotides in either DNA or RNA for backward compatibility, while DA, DC, DG, DI, DT, and DU select only DNA nucleotides.
