Jan,

Tim and I made the decision to modify 'protein'. Please test it and let us
know what you think.

'amino' is left as it was ... the base 20 amino acids + the 2 ambiguous ones.

This sounds interesting.

We will consider new operators in the future.

I have filed a bug report so we don't lose this.

OXT and the special backbone hydrogens are now part of the 'backbone' set.
But this selection is still dependant upon the atom name 'OXT'.
No connectivity checking is currently implemented. At the time that the
groups are constructed the bonding has not yet been run ... this is a
problem.
