Thank you to all who provided helpful suggestions so far.
A few things I'd recommend for this particular beamline (which I have

Do NOT collect one wavelength at a time. This was a good strategy on old
beamlines with noisy detectors and slow, drifty monochromators.

The old BNL PDB format documents are available at
https://www.wwpdb.org/documentation/file-format
I looked at the Feb 1992 document to be certain that my memory was
correct [I am 6 days shy of 82 and am reassured that my recollection
was,in fact, correct] for information about the
It says in aforementioned docs:
"Alignment of one-letter atom name such as C starts at column 14, while
two-letter atom name such as FE starts at column 13.
"
and no, hopefully they don't mean that, since their example shows plenty
of 2-letter and 3-letter atom names starting at column 14 in
'CA' for carbon-alpha is a 2-letter atom name so applying the rule exactly
as stated it should start in column 13; it states that only 1-letter atom
names (C, N, O) go in column 14. This must be a case of poorly-written
documentation; it must mean 'element symbol' not 'atom name' in those cases

It is, I think you would agree, unconventional to put a CA label for a

thing). But is it wrong ("Incorrect" - as Harry labels it)? In this

Hi Robbie
I’m not actually using PDB files of proteins - I’m using the PDB format files
in PDBeChem, because at the moment I’m interested in doing stuff with
ligands/substrates/etc. The charges I’ve seen so far seem to be not quite what
I’d expect, but I’m prepared to work around that.

Hi Harry,It might be better now, but there used to positively charged aspartates in the PDB. You have a better chance taking charges out of the CCD for your atoms of interest. I'm not saying all charges in the CCD are correct, but they are much more reliable. If you find errors, please report them

Dear Jon,
If I understand your question right, I would use Gemmi for this purpose:

hello CCP4 people,
rather off-topic: is there a purpose-written windows editor for PDF files? with
interleaved anisotropy lines, missing column delimiters etc., simply extracting
the B-factors for Ca atoms is hard work using a standard character editor.
would anyone think of working with DNA
It would also be good to check the monomer library (expanded with any
user-supplied dictionaries). Cases where an element in columns 77-78 exists
and it does not agree with the component definition should probably be
flagged up.
Cheers,
Paul

There are programs that don't read/write the element from columns
77-78, so this rule still matters, but using it is less
Hi Harry,Deducing the element from the atom name has always been unreliable so since PDB version 3 you have to get it from columns 77-78. There is no implied element in the atom name anymore.HTH,RobbieOn 15 May 2024 12:28, Harry Powell <193323b1e616-dmarc-requ...@jiscmail.ac.uk> wrote:Hi folks

Thanks for this.
In other words, would it be true to say that there are no actual rules about
what appears in columns 13-16 because “it's a rose by any other name”?
