Interface Chain

All Superinterfaces:

AtomContainer, LeafSubstructureContainer

All Known Implementing Classes:

MmtfChain, OakChain

public interface Chain
extends LeafSubstructureContainer

Chains that represent one continuous macro molecule (most often the biggest macro molecules and its ligands are collected in one model). Chains contain LeafSubstructures that in tun contain Atoms.
