Doesn't mmdb read the 'old' lines from syminfo.lib?

In which case, H 3 2 should work.
H32 without spaces clearly won't, and I don't think such a symbol would be present in a modern (remediated) PDB file.

symbol ccp4 155
symbol Hall ' R 3 2"'
symbol xHM  'R 3 2 :H'
symbol old  'H 3 2'

Hi-

I'm trying for the first time to work with a structure in spacegroup H32. Coot reads the CRYST card, but when I build a helix, or look at a H32 PDB entry, the symmetry mates appear squished. I know there is some discussion about handling this spacegroup: do I need to change the CRYST line to get the structure to display correctly?

<chuckle> what timing :-)

OK, so the answer is that Coot does not support such a spacegroup symbol. You need to specify it as "R 3 2 :H".

Paul - you have to fix this - until such time as PDB depositions return such a symbol. At the moment they have H32
