Definition:
This label is a unique identifier for a particular site in the asymmetric unit of the crystal unit cell. It is made up of components, _atom_site.label_component_0 to *_6, which may be specified as separate data items. Component 0 usually matches one of the specified _atom_type.symbol codes. This is not mandatory if an _atom_site.type_symbol item is included in the atom site list. The _atom_site.type_symbol always takes precedence over an _atom_site.label in the identification of the atom type. The label components 1 to 6 are optional, and normally only components 0 and 1 are used. Note that components 0 and 1 are concatenated, while all other components, if specified, are separated by an underline character. Underline separators are only used if higher-order components exist. If an intermediate component is not used it may be omitted provided the underline separators are inserted. For example the label 'C233__ggg' is acceptable and represents the components C, 233, '', and ggg. Each label may have a different number of components.Examples:

C_a_phe_83_a_0 |
