Hi Wolfram,

Do you run pdb2pqr with the --whitespace option? If yes, remove that and see if 
PyMOL is happy with the output.

Some versions of PyMOL's APBS Tools plugin have the --whitespace option by 
default (first page, "pdb2pqr command line options") but it seems that this 
flag creates about as many problems as it solves. The correct solution would be 
to retire the PQR format and replace it with mmCIF, which is not a fixed column 
format.

Cheers,
  Thomas
