[Chimera-users] Phosphorylated residues showing up as X

Hi Daniel,
	Chimera learns that non-standard residues are modified forms of regular amino/nucleic acids from the MODRES records in PDB files.  If you added MODRES records for your residues to your input file, the sequence would show S/T instead of X.  The format for a MODRES record is documented here:

	http://www.wwpdb.org/documentation/file-format-content/format33/sect3.html#MODRES <http://www.wwpdb.org/documentation/file-format-content/format33/sect3.html#MODRES>

You could crib MODRES records for your residues from 1vrv (SEP) and 6ar2 (TPO).  You would have to edit the chain ID and sequence number fields of those records.
