Description

              A description of the entity, with the name of the entity
               in parenthesis.

Local Description

The names of the entities. Proteins and biological nucleic acids 
(such as t-RNA) are identified by their common names, short NA strands by 
their nucleotide sequences, and non-polymer compounds by their chemical or 
trivial names.

Polymer compounds (proteins and nucleic acids) are expected to have
their sequences entered under the category entity_poly.
