Sorry, I should have specified that this happens to all PDB files. I first thought it's the particular one which O downloaded, but when I then downloaded my own to manually adjust the CRYST card on the "broken" entry I realized no PDB works at all. You can pick any random PDB code and it will n

Dear Juergen, this is difficult to answer without - knowing the exact error message coot issues - knowing the CRYST1 card of the PDB-file. maybe it got scrambled, the space group was left out or corrupted or... Did you run the PDB file through pdbset to reset space group and cell dimensions.

Dear Ian, I think this is a very good suggestion. I had been thinking myself on adding a 'multiplicity column' to the mmCIF, which would indicate whether the refinement program had assumed a true special position or a rotated disordered molecule. However, this would require that all programs us

I thought about this and I think the only workable solution that will keep everyone happy and maintain the status quo as far as possible is to get an extra data item added to mmCIF for the parameter combination multiplicity*occupancy (I believe this parameter is called the 'site population' in Shel
