_struct_site_gen.details

Name:
'_struct_site_gen.details'

Definition:

   A description of special aspects of the symmetry generation of
   this portion of the structural site.

Example:

;                                 The zinc atom lies on a special position;
                                  application of symmetry elements to generate
                                  the insulin hexamer will generate excess zinc
                                  atoms, which must be removed by hand.
