    biounits: naming conflicts of AU chains with identity transform applied · 529ccde9
    Studer Gabriel authored
    Chain naming in biounit construction reserves 1.<au_cname> for the
    respective AU chain with identity transform applied. As of January
    2024, there are 3 PDB entries (8qn6, 8x1h, 2c0x) where the same AU
    chain with identity transform occurs several times in the same
    biounit. This is likely an error in the respective mmCIF files as
    the resulting chains sit on top of each other. OST just names the
    FIRST occurence as 1.<au_cname>.
    
    A warning for that behaviour is also added to the documentation
