Category STRUCT_BIOL_GEN

Name:
'struct_biol_gen'

Description:

   Data items in the STRUCT_BIOL_GEN category record details about
   the generation of each biological unit. The STRUCT_BIOL_GEN
   data items provide the specifications of the components that
   constitute that biological unit, which may include symmetry
   elements.

Example:

Example 1 - based on PDB entry 5HVP and laboratory records for the structure corresponding to PDB entry 5HVP.
