Item _chem_comp_atom.atom_id

Description

              The value of _chem_comp_atom.atom_id must uniquely identify
               each atom in each monomer in the CHEM_COMP_ATOM list.

               The atom identifiers need not be unique over all atoms in the
               data block; they need only be unique for each atom in a
               component.

               Note that this item need not be a number; it can be any unique
               identifier.
