I think if you believe mMCIF is "horrible" then you should look again. You
can
basically put a standard PDB file straight into it with a simple header
that identifies
the fields. What could be easier than that? -- Same data used twice, though
you
do need a space character between alt-loc and insertion codes in mmCIF.
Why is this "horrible"? Maybe there is so much information in the RCSB
files, but
Jmol doesn't need more than this:
data_3J06
_database_PDB_rev.num 1
loop_
_atom_site.group_PDB
_atom_site.id
_atom_site.type_symbol
_atom_site.label_alt_id
_atom_site.pdbx_PDB_ins_code
_atom_site.Cartn_x
_atom_site.Cartn_y
_atom_site.Cartn_z
_atom_site.auth_seq_id
_atom_site.auth_comp_id
_atom_site.auth_asym_id
_atom_site.auth_atom_id
