I see, so if i get this right, every protein structure has at least one biological unit, sometimes it just conincides with the asymmetric unit. So it would be save to write .pdb1 in any case.
Cool, thanks for pointing this out to me. Martin On 03.05.11 22:22, li...@cowsandmilk.net wrote: > http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/files/1avd.pdb1 > > The key is adding 1 to the suffix.
