I like the tree view idea. Do you think of a a collection of amino acids (dna, rna...) that is initially linked to the sequence or should the entries be read from the pdb file.
I also think reading sequence from pdb file is by far the best and most appropriate method! This will never get disabled. Maybe, we should introduce a correction function that converts (or adjusts) assignments to the pdb file, if the assignment was not done with the same numbering?
