Probably not. The Bio.PDB.mmCIF module was essentially a private module used by Bio.PDB.MMCIF2Dict, whose usage is unchanged. Also, AFAICT the Bio.PDB.mmCIF module is not documented anywhere. And finally, all this module does is tokenize the mmCIF file, so probably not something an end user would be interested in.

I am not a heavy user of Bio.PDB myself, so feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Best,
