Hello Fabian,

Please have a look here:
http://www.wwpdb.org/documentation/format32/sect9.html#ATOM

The PDB format is quite annoying because it's basically space-based. So, for
the B factor, you have 5 characters alloted meaning it is usually YY.XX

Therefore, although some programs might accept longer B factors, the Parser
will reject it.

Best!
