Arguments

file

a single element character vector containing the name of the mmCIF file to be read, or the four letter PDB identifier for online file access.

maxlines

the maximum number of lines to read before giving up with large files. By default if will read up to the end of input on the connection.

multi

logical, if TRUE multiple ATOM records are read for all models in multi-model files and their coordinates returned.

rm.insert

rm.alt

logical, if TRUE PDB alternate records are ignored.
