The connection pattern is currently used to identify an AminoMonomer.

For a _group_ to be an AminoMonomer it must contain the following:
 * atoms with the following names:
    - N
    - CA
    - C
    - O
 * the atoms must also be connected correctly
    - N + CA
    - CA + C
    - C + O

Note that I cannot check bond orders for these because .pdb files do not
contain bond order information.

I think that you are saying that the *group name* should be used to
determine whether or not something is an amino acid.

At this point I think that would be very difficult. There is too much code
that depends upon the presence of all the key atoms. In particular, all of
the secondary structure shapes are dependant upon the presence of CA-C=O

I do not understand what you are suggesting here.

The current support for AlphaMonomer (for alpha-carbon-only models) is as
follows:

  * a _single_ atom in a group whose name is CA

These names are currently required.

I do not understand what you are saying here.

As described above, connectivity is currently used to determine if a group
is an AminoMonomer.

I do not understand what you are saying here.
