Dear Kara,
The content of the file u sent looks as follows:
ATOM 2609 ZN ZN 169 26.756 44.995 -1.234MTER MATOM 2610
ZN ZN 170 27.788 42.109 11.205MTER MEND M
When I load this .pdb, it will load only 1 atom. I have changed the way of
look of the contents as follows, and it worked ok (xleap sees 2 ZN atoms
in this case):
ATOM 2609 ZN ZN 169 26.756 44.995 -1.234
TER
ATOM 2610 ZN ZN 170 27.788 42.109 11.205
TER
END
Are you creating the .pdb files in Windows XP? I am always using joe/vi
kind of program in linux, and they dont put any unknown characters like
'M' in the file. Maybe if u follow Ross' suggestion, that might solve the
problem. Good luck.
Best,
