Paul, Thank you for the mail. It is indeed a problem in the PDB format, generated at the Yale server. The segID was wrong and the atom type was missing.
After the correction, however, I am still struggling with the animation functions in ccp4mg....

I hope somebody can help me out. > Hello Zhongren Wu, If ccp4mg complains about the format of the PDB file(s) it is probably right. The devil is in the detail - what does it say? If I had to guess, I'd say that the files from they yale.edu are not sanctioned PDB format. Paul. p.s. slightly ironic that you should ask about ccp4mg here. There is a mailing list for ccp4mg questions: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=CCP4MG
