I disagree. The PDB file is fixed width, and the format for the b-factor field is %6.2f. This means that the above line is a proper PDB ATOM definition. Using the Gromacs pdb_wide_format generates a PDB file that may not be compatible with other programs. I would argue though that Gromacs should at least warn when trying to write numbers larger than 999.99 to the b-factor/occupancy field. Cheers, Tsjerk -- Tsjerk A.
