Thanks for all of the replies. It turns out with the updated COOT that ANISOU cards require an element type (column 77-78). It will still open ATOM card lines without it, hence the confusion. The output pdb from SHELXL refinement doesn't write this column which is why COOT was having issues.

If others are having this problem I've got a PERL script to fix it. Let me know and I'll send it to you.

Thanks again, especially to Paul,

Katherine

Hi all,

I am running Coot 0.6.2-pre-1(revision 2816). The OS is Open Suse 11.1. Every time I try to open a SHELX refined pdb file with ANISOU cards I get
this error

ERROR 14 READ: Unmatch in different records for the same atom

Then it lists the line number of the first ANISOU card. If you remove all the ANISOU cards it works. If you open an anisotropically refined pdb from PHENIX it works. I've even checked the spacing in the pdb file to make sure its correct. I can not see any difference between the SHELX and PHENIX derived coordinates. I'm sure this is some simple idiocy on my part but if
you have any ideas I'm all ears.

Hi Katherine,

I've seen this error before -- it seemed to be related to the
coexistence of ANISOU cards (correctly formatted) and a badly
formatted HEADER record in the pdb file. If your file has a HEADER but no deposition code in it (which was the problem in my case) coot will fail to read the file on certain systems. RHEL4 is one of them, SuSE might be another one... Just get rid of the HEADER or fix it and
see what happens.

JED.
