Hi Is there something about “MODEL ” lines (i.e. five characters followed by a space) in PDB files that is completely beyond the pale?
I’ve got some PDB files from a protein structure prediction server based in the US that Coot fails to read and that cause QTMG to crash on my Mac. I’ve tracked this down to “MODEL” lines in the file headers. I’ve tested this most in QTMG, so the following may not be true for Coot. If I change this line so that it has “M ”, “MO ”, “MOD ”, MODE ”, “MODEL1 ”, “MODEL22 ”, “MODEL678 ” or even “MODEL^&* ” instead of “MODEL ” then all looks hunky-dory. I thought - “aha - there’s something about 5 characters” - so I tried replacing “MODEL ” with “TRUMP ” and “BIDEN ” and the files read okay, so it does look very specific. I’m sure there’s a simple answer to this (is there a “FM” I could read?), but I haven’t found one yet. Can anyone on the BB help out?
