I see in that header:

but at http://www.wwpdb.org/documentation/format23/remarks2.html I see:

REMARK 350 APPLY THE FOLLOWING TO CHAINS: ?, ?...
REMARK 350   BIOMT1   N  N.NNNNNN  N.NNNNNN  N.NNNNNN        N.NNNNN
REMARK 350   BIOMT2   N  N.NNNNNN  N.NNNNNN  N.NNNNNN        N.NNNNN
REMARK 350   BIOMT3   N  N.NNNNNN  N.NNNNNN  N.NNNNNN        N.NNNNN 

I had assumed that the PDB file was using column-based formatting, and 
I'm sure on that one I'm misreading the columns. I'll change it back to 
reading white-space separated data.
