Hi guys, I just downloaded a pdb file from AlphaFold DB (AF-P69905-F1-model_v4.pdb). After modifying it with ChimeraX (version 1.6.1 (2023-05-09)) I've saved the modified atomic structure as a cif file. The original pdb file contains this line: COMPND 2 MOLECULE: HEMOGLOBIN SUBUNIT ALPHA; After saving the file as cif format ALPHA is not longer a string but a GREEK character: _entity.pdbx_description "hemoglobin subunit α" Is there any flag in the save command that disables this conversion from plain ASCII to UTF-8? Thank you very much for the answer in advance: MARTA -- Marta Martinez Gonzalez Biocomputing Unit (Lab B13) National Center for Biotechnology-CSIC Darwin, 3.
