PyMOL still uses Ralf Gross-Kunstleve's old sglite toolkit for decoding spacegroups. Thus, there is no static list of acceptable forms. However, included below are the most of the strings from sgsymbols.c. It is probably safe to assume that these strings will be recognized literally, but sglite can handle some other common forms (e.g. "P212121" for "P 21 21 21").

I have discovered that PyMOL is somewhat picky about the format of the name of the space group. The only way I have found to uncover which specific form(s) of the space group name PyMOL is looking for is to search within the binary (not a good solution). For example, P-1 will fail while "P -1" is acceptable. Also, P212121 versus P 21 21 21 may or may not fail. There are - in general - more options for the more (biologically) common space groups. Perhaps Warren can post to the mailing list the clear text table of space group names that are acceptable. In the meantime, you might try variations on "P 21/n" such as "P21/n", "P 21 n", "P 1 21/n 1", et cetera.... -Tom -----Original Message----- From: pymol-users-boun...@lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:pymol-users-boun...@lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Qi Wang Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2006 1:01 PM To: pymol-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [PyMOL] symmetry generation P21/n? Hi looks to me Pymol doesn't recogize the space group symbol P 21/n. Is it a bug or this group symbol is obsolete?
