Category symmetry

Category Description

              Data items in the SYMMETRY category record details about the
               space-group symmetry.




Category Examples




Example 1:

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