Hi Steffen,
as per .pdb format version 2.3, all records must start with a HEADER
field.
ftp://pdb.protein.osaka-u.ac.jp/v3/pub/pdb/doc/format_descriptions/format2.3-0108-a4.pdf
page 13.
The chemical-mime-data package provides a mime entry for the PDB format
that seems to be very comprehensive as it also takes into account broken
files that start with other fields.
I have no experience in cristallography. Daniel, do you know if this is
necessary ?
Maybe rasmol (and pymol, and others) should suggest chemical-mime-data?
I do not think that it can recommend it because of bug 420795. Shall I
file wishlist bugs or should we try to push a text/x-pdb alternative in
shared-mime-database ?
When this is decided, I will file a wishlist bug against rasmol for its
.desktop file to mention the chosen mime types.
Have a nice day,
