Re: [IMP-dev] Atom::create

[Keren Lasker <kerenl@salilab.org>]

yes - probably should not be stored, but still doing something like:
atom = IMP::atom::Atom::create(p,IMP::atom::AT_CA)
connecting this atom to a molecule ( with residue and chain of course)
and then writing the molecule as pdb, results in a error unknown  
element in get_element.
