Dear Krish,

As Harry mentioned, a simple text editor will work.

May I recommend using Visual Studio Code using the CIF extension by Heikki Kainulainen? https://github.com/hmkainul/vscode-cif / https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=thisperiodictable.cif

Cheers,

Deborah

Hi

There is no particular special editor from PDB (or from anywhere else, as far 
as I know) for doing this - mmCIF is basically a simple text file with a 
defined set of contents. It frees you from the tyranny of fixed-width columns 
that your have in the historic PDB file.

I’d just use whatever text editor you have on your system - so on LInux or Mac, 
something like vim, emacs, nano, on Windows Notepad. No need for anything 
special.

But I’d also be wary about screwing up the file completely with your edits - 
it’s easy to turn a compliant file into something invalid.
