[Biopython-dev] MMCIF Parser

[João Rodrigues]

Hi Lenna,

First of all, sorry to come so late in the discussion but as I said before,
I was in a conference so I didn't really read my email that frequently..


The PDBe have their own parsers and I am yet to find out what kind of
dependencies and even if it maps to the same SMCRA model we use. I will
keep you informed. I sent them an email today and am waiting for the reply.
I will eventually bring the discussion here so maybe we can take the best
of both parsers. Nevertheless, thanks for the time and effort you are
putting, it will surely be put to good use! :)


Best,

João [...] Rodrigues
