1Chemistry/MacroMol version 0.06
2===============================
3
4For the purposes of this module, a macromolecule is just a molecule that
5consists of several "domains". For example, a protein consists of aminoacid
6residues, or a nucleic acid consists of bases. Therefore Chemistry::MacroMol
7is derived from Chemistry::Mol, with additional methods to handle the domains.
8
9The way things are currently structured, an atom in a macromolecule "belong"
10both to the MacroMol object and to a Domain object. This way you can get all the
11atoms in $protein via $protein->atoms, or to the atoms in residue 123 via
12$protein->domain(123)->atoms.
