Dear Harry,

You could also try to use pdb2cif from the cif-tools: https://github.com/PDB-REDO/cif-tools. The only strict requirement for a PDB formatted file is that it has a HEADER at the first line. After installation, running from the command line is as simple as: pdb2cif file.pdb .

Best regards,

Ida

Hi Harry,

Have you tried MAXIT from the PDB? It can be installed locally:

    Hi Martin, Marcin, Arturo, Avinash

    First off, I’m **NOT** saying that there’s anything wrong with the
    CIF files produced by these routes - just that AlphaFill doesn’t
    like them (it *does* like CIFs from AlphaFold -

    But (while Alphafold models are wonderful, have put us all out of
    jobs, etc, etc) they are just a starting point for my project and,
    for this purpose, no good in themselves.

    Martin, Marcin - gemmi would be a good way to go, but -

    :-(

    Arturo - I’ve never scripted PyMol, but saving as CIF from the
    graphics interface -

    Avinash - Maxit *might* work, but I fell at the first hurdle -
    although the help page says

    > Note: It is highly recommended to utilize binary distribution,

    it’s not obvious where to get this. So I download and try to build
    from source, and get (after unpacking and setting ENVs) -

    which is odd, because this is a new Linux system installed this week
