Biomolecular Sequence. This is intended to cover only those molecules where the chemical identity is an important aspect, and is not intended to intrude into genome structure, etc. It also covers only 'simple' types of sequence (PROTein, DNA, RNA, CARBohydrate). CML will not (at present) provide a comprehensive list of monomers and there is a very limited support for covalently modified molecules.
In general, therfore, this should only be used for 'normal' proteins, small stretches of DNA or RNA without 'unusual' components, and carbohydrates which can be represented by a simple linear text string. It is unsuitable for cyclic molecules, modified bases, unusual aminoacids, brached saccharides, etc. The chain termination is also unlikely to be well defined (e.g. monophosphate?, acetylated N-terminus?). Covalent modifications may be described textually (e.g. 'glycosylated').
