Dear Jon, Thanks for your reply.
The matrix format in the "REMARK 290" section of the pdb file (download from rcsb.org) is : r11 r12 r13 tx r21 r22 r23 ty r31 r32 r33 tz And I want to extract the matrix information from the pdb file "REMARK 290" section and use the matrix in the pdbset. so I have to convert the matrix from r11 r12 r13 tx r21 r22 r23 ty r31 r32 r33 tz to r11 r12 r13 r21 r22 r23 r31 r32 r33 tx ty tz. How can I do it? Thanks.
