Hi Egon,

the graphical image for the  BioJava data model in that blog is not
completely correct. It is true that it follows the
Interface/Implementation approach,but the data model is more
hierarchical than shown on that image.

Structure
    |
  Models(s)
        |
        Chain(s)
            |
             Group(s)
                 |
                 Atom(s)


There are different iterators and utiliy classes that allow to access
arrays of Atoms or iterate over all amino acids, do calculations etc.
It can deal with ATOM vs SEQRES issues and a couple of other things.
For more docu on what you can do with the BioJava structure modules
see here:
