Non-canonical residues are not ignored. Decomposition energies are further
decomposed into backbone (BDC) and sidechain (SDC) energies, which are
combined to give total (TDC) energies. The backbone is only defined for
common residues, so the BDC values for the ligand will likely be 0. The
total and sidechain energies, however, should be non-zero.
