I am calculating the ASA of some virus structures downloaded from VIPERdb.

I get the following error when processing some of the 'full capsid' structures (after tweaking MAXNET as appropriate)...

*** Warning(s): point code unit    function
***                 1 16576    1    MMDB_F_Atom
*** file   : DBd/ViperDb/structures/1ej6_full.vdb.gz
*** warning: atom serial number does not match position
*** position unavailable, serial number 34487
*** warning: unknown form factor encountered
*** position unavailable, serial number 34487

... (and many many more).

I tried Googling, but I couldn't find the cause of this error. Following the errors (many thousands), the ASA appears to be calculated correctly (for at least some of the files that I have). Actually the above structure in particular is problematic in other ways...

ERROR: Dimension of parameter MAXNET is too small
Currently it is     :  200000000
Needs to be at least: 1368998631


Which I think is impossibly large - Not sure though.


My question is, what is this warning? Is it safe to ignore? Is it related to issues with Areaimol or rather the structure from VIPERdb?

I had thought this warning was related to 'ALT LOC' codes in the files, for example,

*** Warning(s): point code unit    function
***                 1 16576    1    MMDB_F_Atom
*** file   : DBd/ViperDb/structures/1a34_full.vdb.gz
*** warning: atom serial number does not match position
*** position unavailable, serial number 668
*** warning: unknown form factor encountered
*** position unavailable, serial number 668
atom type found and not recognised =
THR A 13
$TEXT:Warning: $$ comment $$

*** Warning(s): point code unit    function

*** warning: atom serial number does not match position
*** position unavailable, serial number 670
*** warning: unknown form factor encountered

....

The above warnings appear to be co-localized with 'alternate location codes' in the PDB. How does Areaimol handle AltLocs (and Icodes)?


Cheers,

Dan.
