The transition from the old PDB format to mmCIF/PDBx poses some issues:
- Multi-character chain identifiers in mmCIF files do not fit the single column in the current DSSP format (see #74)
- In the current mmCIF/PDBx dictionary the are
_atom_site.label_<...>
and_atom_site.auth_<...>
data items to identify_atom_site
s. To provide backward and forward compatibility it would make sense to include the mandatory items and the currently used items in a new DSSP format (the current DSSP format also lacks model numbers, for example).
Perhaps a command line option format
can be added with two allowed values, new
and old
(default).

Version 3 of xssp produces new formats now.
