Minimum length for a chain in the target structure to be considered in chain mapping. The chain mapping algorithm first performs an all vs. all pairwise sequence alignment to identify "equal" chains within the target structure. We go for simple sequence identity there. Short sequences can be problematic as they may produce high sequence identity alignments by pure chance. BUT: if you're scoring peptides or short nucleotides, you really want to be able to reduce the default thresholds (pep: 10, nuc: 4)
