Thanks for all those quick replies! Im sorry my post didnt carry the CRYST1 line. It should have read:
CRYST1 86.316 86.316 279.245 90.00 90.00 120.00 P 65 I tried all your suggestions but I still cannot get coot to read the SG. What is strange is that when coot starts up (coot --pdb ABCD.pdb) it gives these information messages in terminal: <...snip> Reading coordinate file: /sw/share/coot/standard-residues.pdb PDB file /sw/share/coot/standard-residues.pdb has been read. No Spacegroup found for this PDB file Cell: 40.631 109.18 93.243 90 90 90 art_render_invoke: no image source given art_render_invoke: no image source given initalize graphics molecules...initializing molecules...done done. (handle-read-draw-molecule-with-recentre "ABCD.pdb" 1) Reading coordinate file: ABCD.pdb PDB file ABCD.pdb has been read. No Spacegroup found for this PDB file Cell: 86.316 86.316 279.245 90 90 120 !! Warning:: No symmetry available for this molecule No Symmetry for this model INFO:: NCS chain comparison 0/644 Molecule 0 read successfully <snip...> It apparently cannot read the space group info from the standard-residues.pdb either. The CRYST1 line from that pdb reads as follows: CRYST1 40.631 109.180 93.243 90.00 90.00 90.00 P 1 This pdb seems to be part of the coot install. I haven't touched this file before. Any thoughts? And thanks for your time. Pavan On Mon, Mar 17, 2008 at 5:47 PM, Tim Gruene <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > your CRYST1 card is most likely missing the actual space group name.
