Category STRUCT_NCS_DOM

Name:
'struct_ncs_dom'

Description:

   Data items in the STRUCT_NCS_DOM category record information
   about the domains in an ensemble of domains related by one or
   more noncrystallographic symmetry operators.

   A domain need not correspond to a complete polypeptide chain;
   it can be composed of one or more segments in a single chain,
   or by segments from more than one chain.

Example:

Example 1 - based on laboratory records for the collagen-like peptide, HYP-.
