Yes - I only want to use the symmetry matrices from the "REMARK
300/350" section of the PDB header. See below for the exact matrices
in this example.

OK - I CC'ed that list in this reply (I hope that is OK). Actually
that reminds me - anyone interested is invited to contribute their

Dang... I just realised the above symmetry does *not* describe the
biological unit of this structure!
Lets look at 1jgc instead:

I would like to apply these matrices using Jmol ... if possible
