Re: [IMP-dev] Multichain proteins



for me more then one chain is an assembly ( or complex)
I would leave Chain because in modeling sometimes people takes domains from different places ( with different chain ids) and this information might be useful.

Does it make sense to talk about a protein which consists of more than one chain? I've heard people use the words that way (and there are google hits, but not a huge number), but it was suggested that this is a misuse of the words. It would make the atom hierarchy a bit simpler to say a protein is a single chain and has HierarchyType PROTEIN (and to remove the CHAIN type).

Authoritative answers? Votes?
