XmlmmCIF equivalent: atom_site
Data items in the ATOM_SITE category record details about
the atom sites in a macromolecular crystal structure, such as
the positional coordinates, atomic displacement parameters,
magnetic moments and directions, and so on.
The data items for describing anisotropic temperature or atomic
displacement factors are only used if the corresponding items
are not given in the ATOM_SITE_ANISOTROP category.

identifier.
This data item was introduced to facilitate compatibility between
small molecule and macromolecular files. In the small molecule
files, _atom_site_label is the identifier for the atom. In the
macromolecular files, the atom identifier is the aggregate of
_atom_site.label_alt_id, _atom_site.label_asym_id,
_atom_site.label_atom_id, _atom_site.label_comp_id and
_atom_site.label_seq_id. For the two types of files to be
compatible, a formal identifier for the category had to be
introduced that was independent of the different modes of
identifying atoms. For compatibility with older files,
_atom_site_label is aliased to _atom_site.id.
