Thanks for that. I was hoping for a more elegant solution, as I'd also
like to deal with PDB file 1MRO as well, which uses the following five
modified resiudes:
HETNAM MHS N1-METHYLATED HISTIDINE
HETNAM AGM 4-METHYL-ARGININE
HETNAM MGN 2-METHYL-GLUTAMINE
HETNAM GL3 THIOGLYCIN
HETNAM SMC S-METHYLCYSTEINE
But anyway, I think I can cope with "fixing" a couple of PDB files by hand.
