Hi,

 - MET residues should become MSE (i.e. Se-MET instead of S-Met)

 - ' SD ' atom name should become 'SE  '

 - remove the columns 77-80

 - run PDBSET to let it re-generate columns 77-80 again.

So something simple minded like

  % grep "^CRYST1" your.pdb > tmp.pdb

  % egrep "^ATOM|^HETATM" your.pdb | \
      sed "s/ MET / MSE /g" | \
      sed "s/  SD  MSE/ SE   MSE/g" | \
      cut -c-76 >> tmp.pdb

  % echo END | pdbset xyzin new.pdb xyzout new.pdb

should probably work. Ther might be something easier somewhere else,
maybe a really-fancy-function-with-a-meaningful-long-name-that-does-it
in Coot?

Cheers

Clemens
