+.. class:: MMCifInfoEntityBranchLink
+
+  Data from ``pdbx_entity_branch``, most specifically
+  ``pdbx_entity_branch_link``. That is connectivity information for branched
+  entities, e.g. carbohydrates/ oligosaccharides.
+  :class:`Conop Processors <ost.conop.Processor>` can not easily connect them so
+  we use this information in :meth:`LoadMMCIF` to do that.
+
+  .. attribute:: atom1
+
+    The first atom of the bond. Corresponds to ``entity_branch_link.atom_id_1``,
+    ``entity_branch_link.comp_id_1`` and
+    ``entity_branch_link.entity_branch_list_num_1``. Also available via
+    :meth:`GetAtom1` and :meth:`SetAtom1`.

+    and :meth:`SetBondOrder`.
