Hi Jose, I see. In the example on page http://mmcif.wwpdb.org/dictionaries/mmcif_pdbx_v40.dic/Categories/atom_site.html, it is in field 12, though, and I would have thought that mmCIF allows line breaks. But as long as all developers writing PDBx/mmCIF with their programs follow the PDB constraints (``styling plans'' in their FAQ), everything is fine.
