[Molvis-list] Decimal point precision

[Jean-Philippe Demers]

Hi,

Unfortunately, the PDB format only accepts real numbers of 8 digits 
before and 3 digits after the decimal point (see 
http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/docs/format/pdbguide2.2/part_62.html). The mmCif 
format seems more flexible as any float decimal can be used for 
coordinates.

Good luck,
Jean-Philippe Demers
