Unless you're an organic chemist, these rules are pretty hard to follow, so most people number at will. If you're dealing with a 'known' series of compounds, such as analogous inhibitors developed in the course of a research project (say, in pharma industry) then typically you will see people refer to specific locations by number, and try to keep numbering consistent.

I know this may be a little bit off topic. I have cocrystallized several compounds with my favorite protein. I found crystal structures for some of these chemicals. But the numbering systems are different in those original papers for the small molecules. Some numbering system has all the atoms from 1 to the end (C1-O3-O8-N9-C15), while others have numbers for each individual element. (C1-C12, O1-O2, N1). I was trying to search a unified theme for ligands in pdb. I even emailed deposit@deposit.rcsb.org, but so far I haven't heard anything back. Could anyone give me some suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sorry to bother others Joe CCP4bb navigationCCP4bb <-- 1999 <-- November 1999 <-- 30 November 1999 |
