Hi all, The bug seems to be that the "pdb_insure_orthogonal" setting is only applied to the first model. Turning the setting off shows the correct assembly:
set pdb_insure_orthogonal, off load 1hho.pdb1 If "pdb_insure_orthogonal" is on, PyMOL will apply the SCALE transformation, which might be necessary to correctly line up with the corresponding electron density map. Ioannis, you can file bug reports on https://sf.net/p/pymol/bugs/ but reporting a bug here on the pymol-users list is equally effective :) Cheers, Thomas On 22 Feb 2016, at 04:44, Ioannis Michalopoulos <imicha...@bioacademy.gr> wrote: > Dear all, > > Thank you for your informative answers. > > For various reasons, I am not yet willing to move to cif. > > Indeed remark 285 of the 1hho header: > > http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/files/1HHO.pdb?headerOnly=YES > > reads: > > REMARK 285 > > REMARK 285 THE ENTRY COORDINATES > > REMARK 285 ARE NOT PRESENTED IN THE STANDARD CRYSTAL FRAME. > > Rasmol 2.7.5.2 displays both states of the biological structure, but, > unfortunately, it does not recognise the secondary structure elements of the > second state. > > The fact that Rasmol and the three html embedded viewers in the PDB page: > > http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/explore/jmol.do?structureId=1HHO&bionumber=1 > > display the second state, means that Pymol is the one that has the issue, as > Ezra mentioned. > > As PyMOL's failure to recognise non-standard crystal frames is a major issue, > I think I have to report it to PyMOL developers.
