If you download a starting nucleotide from the PDB it will have the chemical types attached.

And have you tried submitting the coordinate fragment to PRODRG? I think it makes inspired guesses..

If there are element names on the columns 77-78 then refmac deals with them otherwise dictionary should be available and then refmac takes element name from dictionary. If dictionary is not available then it is tough. refmac tries to extract element name from atom names (have you ever tried to do this. code becomes very very very long if you want to have a general solution that does not exist)

Hi,

I am looking desperately for a program that can generate proper
chemical element symbols (column 77-78) for nucleotides etc. (i.e.
those with funny atom names like AC2*). MOST WANTED: A program like
pdbset or pdbcur which reads a pdb and writes the processed pdb and
in addition "knows" all monomers in the monomer library.

Thanks a lot for your help,
Dirk

Doesn't Refmac's output have the elements in cols 77-78? You could run a mock refinement with 0 cycles of rigid body minimization or some such...

Actually, you might try this script:

If you set NCYC to zero, you shouldn't get any shifts in atomic positions
or B factors, but you ought to get the output formatted as you want  it.
