Category CHEMICAL_CONN_ATOM

Name:
'chemical_conn_atom'

Description:

   Data items in the CHEMICAL_CONN_ATOM category would not, in
   general, be used in a macromolecular CIF. See instead the
   ENTITY data items.

   Data items in the CHEMICAL_CONN_ATOM and CHEMICAL_CONN_BOND
   categories record details about the two-dimensional (2D)
   chemical structure of the molecular species. They allow
   a 2D chemical diagram to be reconstructed for use in a
   publication or in a database search for structural and
   substructural relationships.

   The CHEMICAL_CONN_ATOM data items provide information about the
   chemical properties of the atoms in the structure. In cases
   where crystallographic and molecular symmetry elements coincide,
   they must also contain symmetry-generated atoms, so that the
   CHEMICAL_CONN_ATOM and CHEMICAL_CONN_BOND data items will always
   describe a complete chemical entity.

Example:

Example 1 - based on data set DPTD of Yamin, Suwandi, Fun, Sivakumar & bin Shawkataly [Acta Cryst. (1996), C52, 951-953].
