Some PDB files have alternate locations (altlocs) for some atoms. Each atom that has altlocs is marked with an altloc identifier, typically A and B.

In some cases, {%A}.count does not equal {%B}.count.
For example, in *1ab9*:

{%A}.count is 45
{%B}.count is 38

*How can I select the atoms in {%A} that have no corresponding atoms in {%B}? *

Corresponding atoms will have the same group, chain, resNo (sequence number), atomName and model, but will differ in altloc and atomNo.

In the case of 1ab9, visual analysis revealed that {%A} contains Thr300:D that is absent in {%B}.

In other cases, there are more %B atoms than %A.
For example in 1sk1:
{%A}.count is 32
{%B}.count is 36
There is an S-arsenocysteine ([CSR]12) for which the AsO3 is present in {%B} but not {%A}. So, vice versa:

*How can I select the atoms in {%B} that have no corresponding atoms in {%A}?

*Further, there may well be cases where the counts for %A and %B are equal, yet some atoms do not correspond.
