ATOMS

Atom Names

"atoms" = atomname[,atomname]
        = <atomname          
        = atomname>

atomname is the name (label) of a particular atom. atomname consists of 1-5 characters from the set "A-Z", "0-9", and "_". Each atomname within a given residue must be unique.

The wildcard characters "*" (matches any character string) and "%" (matches a single character) are supported in specifying atomname.

"atoms" Description

* all atoms (in the default or specified residues N3 atom named "N3" N* any atom with an atomname prefix of "N" C7,N3 atoms named "C7" and "N3" <N3 atom named "N3" in the previous residue N3> atom named "N3" in the following residue

Atom Type

The atom type field consists of 1-2 characters, where these characters must be the atomic symbol (e.g., "Br"). In specifying the atom symbol, upper and lower case characters are treated equivalently.

NOTE: The wildcard characters "*" (matches any number of characters) and "%" (matches any single character) are not supported for "atype".
