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?

Cheers
