Andreas and Amr,

Thank you very much for agreeing  to add this feature.  May I make one 
additional refinement to my request?

REMARK 800 provides a very useful SITE_DESCRIPTION for each SITE_IDENTIFIER 
code in use in the SITE records.  Could the site name also be associated with 
the site identifier and residues?  There is precedence for parsing REMARK 
records in BioJava (e.g. experiment type, resolution), but this is a special 
case where REMARK 800 and SITE records are dependent on one another and 
physically separated in the header.

Regards,
Steve

Subject: Re: [Biojava-l] SITE records in PDBFileReader

- Take a look at PDBFileParser.java and 
at http://www.wwpdb.org/documentation/format32/sect7.html
- It needs a new Handler method for the Site records that builds up the data 
containers.
- Create a new bean that will contain the data for the SITE record
- Instead of having fields for insertion code residue nr and chain IDs, you can 
use the new PDBResidueNumber.java class to group this together.
- Add a get/set method for the Site beans to the Structure class
- Create a junit test that make sure the parsing works ok.

Hope that makes sense...
Andreas

Just tell me where to start (in the code).
