## Seqres and Atom records
## Seqres and Atom Records

The sequence that has been used in the experiment is stored in the **Seqres** records in the PDB. It is often not the same sequences as can be found in Uniprot, since it can contain cloning-artefacts and modifications that were necessary in order to crystallize a structure.

## Accessing Seqres and Atom Groups

By default BioJava loads both the Seqres and Atom groups into the [Chain](http://www.biojava.org/docs/api/org/biojava/nbio/structure/Chain.html)

Groups that are part of the Seqres sequence as well as of the Atom records are mapped onto each other. This means you
can iterate over all Seqres groups in a chain and check, if they have observed atoms.



## Mapping from Uniprot to Atom records
## Mapping from Uniprot to Atom Records

The mapping between PDB and UniProt changes over time, due to the dynamic nature of biological data. The [PDBe](http://www.pdbe.org) has a project that provides up-to-date mappings between the two databases, the [SIFTs](http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe/docs/sifts/) project.
