Gerzon,

These types of questions should be posted to jmol-users, not jmol-developers.

The problem is that I am not recognizing the element type correctly.

Your file does not have the element identified in columns 77 & 78
(1-based). Therefore, Jmol tries to figure out what the the atom type is
by looking at columns 13 & 14 (1-based).

In this case, it is trying to find the element 'AP'

Q: What do the letters 'A' and 'N' mean in this case?

I am in the process of doing some work in this area of the code.

However, this is *not* going to fix your problem. You also have 'AC'. This
is a valid element symbol. Therefore, I recommend that your files follow
the PDB spec and have the element symbol in columns 77 & 78.

Q: Also, you can make recommendations for algorithms to figure out what
the element type should be based upon columns 13-16 (1-based).


> Rasmol and Jmol have different atoms color (type of atom).

If you prefer the RasMol colors, then you can say
  set color rasmol
