Input Requirements
------------------
The container can read protein structures in PDB (.pdb) or mmCIF (.cif/.mmcif)
format. Compressed files are accepted too (.gz suffix, i.e. 1crn.pdb.gz).
format. Compressed files are accepted, too (.gz suffix, i.e. 1crn.pdb.gz).
Providing SEQRES sequences is recommended, this is the actual protein sequence
which is not necessarily fully covered by the structural data. If not provided,
