Hi,

is there any reason that ResidueTypes and AtomTypes are defined as static variables, rather than enum?

Having them as static variables means you have a proper type associated with the identifiers, which is kind of nice. It also means that you can add your own residue names and have the mapping to a string accessible to i/o code.

what is the best way to map between ResidueType and the PDB residue name string and the same for atoms?

ResidueType("pdbname") should work for now. Same for AtomType.

I think I should add a function residue_type_from_pdb_name and atom_type_from_pdb_name to provide a cleaner and clearer route. I'll check in such code shortly.

thanks!
Dina
