Concerning a questian raised by Tim concerning what is the naming
used in mmCIF, I had a look at 1L2K both in PDB and mmCIF format
(http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/cgi/explore.cgi?
job=download;pdbId=1L2K;page=0;pid=171361130167582&opt=show&format=PDB&p
re=1 and http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/cgi/explore.cgi?
job=download;pdbId=1L2K;page=0;pid=171361130167582&opt=show&format=mmCIF
&pre=1) ;
here are the records of a given H atom :
in PDB = ATOM     10 1HG1 VAL A   1      -3.462  15.657  17.717  1.00
27.83           H
in mmCIF = ATOM   10   H  HG11  . VAL A 1 1   ? -3.462 15.657 17.717
1.00 27.83 ? ? ? ? ? 1   VAL A 1HG1  1

I observe that the PDB file calls is '1HG1' and the mmCIF file calls it
'HG11'.

Please comment on the following proposal:
 * Jmol will support the 'HG11' version
 * The Jmol pdbReader code will convert atom names that
   match the following format:
     <digit> H <alpha> <digit> -> H <alpha> <digit> <digit>

Justification:
 * No reason to promote the pdb format
 * No reason to promote poor/incorrect nomenclature
 * I think this is a practical solution

I agree, better than nothing.
I think that the alternative is to do nothing ... the parser is not going
to be fixed in the short term.
---
I thought * is replacing the whole field, while ? replaces a single char in the field
*.?H??
should match any hydrogen and e.g. Rh or Th
*.*H
throws an error, because there is no ; before the alternate location indicator ;H (RasMol notation)
