Immunoglobulins

Dear all,
I've been trying to get hold of the coordinates of a complete antibody. I
did find one using Scop: 1mco. However, when I applied the
transformation needed to generate the full dimer as given in the header of
the .pdb file I got a nonsensical result. The transformation is:

-1 0 0 x 0
0 1 0 * y + 0
0 0 -1 z 280.05 Angstroms

The translation of 280 A along the z-axis looked wrong so I tried 28 A
instead. This produced a much more sensible result but is obviously still
not quite right.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

-Will
