-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Bernhard,
do you refer to the PDB who, according to Martyn, remove the altloc indicator? That's certainly a serious bug that should be fixed as quickly as possible. Within refmac the preservation is fine and as you would expect it to be: altA only sees atoms in altA and those witout altLoc, etc, which makes sure you PDB file is interpreted correctly by refmac5. That's how I refmac works.
