_atom_site.label_component_0
Name:_atom_site.label_component_0
Alias:
_atom_site_label_component_0
Definition:
Component_0 is normally a code which matches identically with one of the _atom_type.symbol codes. If this is the case then the rules governing the _atom_type.symbol code apply. If, however, the data item _atom_site.type_symbol is also specified in the atom site list, component 0 need not match this symbol or adhere to any of the _atom_type.symbol rules. Component_1 is referred to as the "atom number". When component 0 is the atom type code, it is used to number the sites with the same atom type. This component code must start with at least one digit which is not followed by a + or - sign (to distinguish it from the component 0 rules). Components_2 to 6 contain the identifier, residue, sequence, asymmetry identifier and alternate codes, respectively. These codes may be composed of any characters except an underline.
