That is what I used to think.

I do not understand this.

There has been discussion about this off-and-on for several years.
I also thought that it was easy. But then people on the mailing list said
that my understanding was incorrect.

No, I am not sure :-)
But I have gone down this path at least twice over the past few years.
Here is my understanding ...
You start with a bunch of atoms with ' ' (space) altLoc. The atom
locations are unambiguous.
Next you have a series of atoms with 'A' altLoc, followed by a series of
atoms with 'B' altLoc. These represent alternate branches in the chain.
The chain can 'fork' down one of the branches. I made up the term 'run' to
describe this. If there is a real/official term for this then I will
absolutely stop using 'run' and start using the real term.
Next you have another series of atoms with ' ' (space) altLoc. The atom
locations are unambiguous. The forks from the previous run have rejoined.
Next you have another series of atoms with 'A' altLoc followed by a series
of atoms with 'B' altLoc. This is another set of alternate branches in the
chain ... another 'run'.
Finally we end the chain with another series of ' ' (space) altLoc atoms.
The altLocs look like this
' '
' '
'A'
'A'
'B'
'B'
' '
' '
'A'
'A'
'A'
'B'
'B'
'B'
' '
' '
and the branching looks like this
' '
' '
'A' 'B'
'A' 'B'
' '
' '
'A' 'B'
'A' 'B'
'A' 'B'
' '
' '
So, the question is ...
Q: In the general case, can the 'A' atoms from the first run/branch be
paired with the 'B' atoms from the second run/branch?
Is this a valid confomation?
' '
' '
'A'
'A'
' '
' '
'B'
'B'
'B'
' '
' '
I should not answer the question because I would only be repeating rumors
that I have heard ... and things that I may well have misconstrued.

Jmol-datafiles/pdb/1HJE.pdb
It looks like to me that it contains 6 (7?) runs with A & B branches.
