The `Structure` class: a template structure within an alignment

The `Structure` class contains a single template structure from an alignment. It derives from the alignment `Sequence` class and is used in a very similar way (see Section 6.16 for more details), although it additionally provides special methods to handle structures, and atom information (just as for `model` objects) is available, unlike regular alignment sequences which only deal with residues.
