I have run across a problem and I am not sure where it originates
from. When I use a pdb input file that contains a metal atom, say
Cu, that has been written out by coot in refmac I get a read error of
the sort that refmac does not recognize the Cu. If I then edit the
pdb file and change CU to Cu under the atom name column. As shown
below
As written by coot:
ATOM 3813 CU Cu E 1 28.093 -26.964 -10.810 1.00
54.30 CU
After editing:
ATOM 3813 Cu Cu E 1 28.093 -26.964 -10.810 1.00
54.30 CU
This pops up occasionally with other metal atoms also and while the
work around is fairly easy it is an annoying problem. Has anybody
else seen this before? and does anybody know why it happens?
