The .pdb file probably has the name HIS, but some of the atoms are missing.  If 
it is indeed supposed to be an alanine, change the residue name in the .pdb 
file.  If it is supposed to be HIS, however, then you need to re-build the 
residue using some kind of modeling software.

Check for "MISSING" comments in the header of the .pdb file to be sure of what 
you are doing.
