Re: [PyMOL] Problematic PQS files

[Gareth S. <ga...@eb...>]

Andreas,

I think you'll find that if you delete the binary nastiness at line 268 of 
the file

REMARK 300  THE BIOMOLECULE IS A MOLECULAR SPECIES OF TYPE ....

it will load OK.  This is clearly a bug in the PQS database. 

<plug> 
You should probably have a look at the Macromolecular Structure
Database (msd.ebi.ac.uk) - it contains proposed biological assemblies,
calculated using an algorithm based on that used for PQS.  You can
download PDB-format files from the website.  
</plug>

btw, quite an impressive structure when you do load it!
