I understand the confusion. It is how things were designed in BioJava a
long time ago. In any case data standards for alt locs are not very well
specified. Different depositors can use alt locs in different ways.

I think you can identify and get the alternative conformation for one atom
only with code similar to what I shared, right? Could you elaborate what
your problem is, or share some code?
