Phosphorothioate DNA is a modified DNA where the OP2 atom is substituted with sulfur (S2P); for example: AS PST GS SC. I would like to have a new group for this kind of monomers, to make refinement easier.
There are some inconsistencies in the CCD. In AS, there is P=S double bond, while in GS it's P-SH single bond. I fixed P-SH type monomers: 1SC 48Z 6NW 6OO C7R C7S DV3 F2T G46 GS OKN OKQ OKT U37 YA4. Hopefully CCD will accept these fixes (haven't ask yet).
I don't know if "S-NA" is a good name - should it be "SDNA/RNA", or any alternative? We can proceed once we decide a name for this new group.
