Category: File Input/Output Group: v8 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nick Greeves (ngreeves84) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Lanthanide complexes as PDB - problems Initial Comment: Certain X-ray stuctures as PDB files display well under Chime but poorly under Jmol. I have created a web page to demonstrate the problems which range from incorrectly sizing the structure in the frame, failing to display the central lanthanide ion, and introducing spurious bonds to nearby lithium ions. http://www.liv.ac.uk/Chemistry/jmol/test2.html There is a wide variety of software that claims to export PDB files but the resulting files are not all the same! It would be useful if Jmol was as forgiving as possible. This represents a significant problem for anyone seeking to convert a Chime based site as every structure would require careful individual checking. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Nick Greeves (ngreeves84) Date: 2004-01-02 23:56 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=941641 Indeed I was using Jmol v8 but switching to v10pre4 improves things tremendously (and the applet is so much smaller which is great for slower connections) - great job! The only PDB that still has any problems is the first one which fails to colour the atoms correctly - Barbie pink!! The freestanding application has the same problem. An unrelated query: Chime allowed "spin" to be set and the structure would turn forever which i liked for many of our examples. Can this be set in Jmol (and the speed controlled)?

If you are converting existing Chime applications, I strongly suggest that you switch to Jmol v10 ... currently in Beta test. Goto http://jmol.sf.net/betatest Jmol v10 has significantly enhanced .pdb support with an explicit goal of being a Chime replacement. It may still have troubles with these .pdb files, so please let me know how files work with v10.
