Hi Peter,
Thanks for the response.. I thought it might be a typo somewhere however I
don't know enough about the BioPython code to fix it myself yet..
I am a bit curious that the is being raised is a PDB Construction error...
As I said, I am storing DSSP data in the b-factor column, as is done using the
hsexpo.py script, but in order to be thorough in a statistical analysis I need
to randomise that data and assign it randomly to residues in the PDB file.. I
am not making any changes to the atomic co-ordinates of any of the residues..
the only data that gets re-written in this process is the b-factor column.
What would cause a PDBConstruction Error to be raised?
Thanks
Bhima
