I believe PDB format is kind of outdated, but not sure..
At page 177 it says about altLoc:
- AltLoc is the place holder to indicate alternate conformation. The alternate conformation can be
in the entire polymer chain, or several residues or partial residue (several atoms within one
residue). If an atom is provided in more than one position, then a non-blank alternate location
indicator must be used for each of the atomic positions. Within a residue, all atoms that are
associated with each other in a given conformation are assigned the same alternate position
indicator. There are two ways of representing alternate conformation- either at atom level or at
residue level (see examples).
- For atoms that are in alternate sites indicated by the alternate site indicator, sorting of atoms in
the ATOM/HETATM list uses the following general rules:
• In the simple case that involves a few atoms or a few residues with alternate sites, the
coordinates occur one after the other in the entry.
• In the case of a large heterogen groups which are disordered, the atoms for each
conformer are listed together.
your question could be more useful if you post the entire description for residue 2:
