Frank, That PDB file has bogus/inconsistent segment identifiers that are screwing up atomic ordering (since atoms are sorted into segments by default).
set ignore_pdb_segi before loading the pdb file and then everything should work file. Cheers, Warren -- Warren L. DeLano, Ph.D. Principal Scientist .
