I am afraid that this is incorrect. Col 17 is the 'alternate loaction
indicator' - when non-blank, it indicates that the same atom can have
multiple positions (after all the PDB format was established by
crystallographers).
Interesting.. but in any case, the column cannot be expected to
be blank (an issue for parsing the fields properly).
