Hi, In order use XYZPDB to convert a Tinker XYZ file to PDB format with the correct residue names, etc., you must have a file with the biopolymer sequence in Tinker format, a ".seq" file. If the sequence file is not present, then XYZPDB will create a generic PDB file without any of the usual PDB features.

The ".seq" files are created by Tinker when you go in the other direction- from PDB to XYZ using the PDBXYZ program. A ".seq" is also created when you build a PDB file from sequence using the Tinker PROTEIN or NUCLEIC programs. Also, note the format of the ".seq" file is very simple, and you can fairly easily create one yourself if you know the sequence of your biopolymer. Example ".seq"…
