Some PDB files have alternate locations (altlocs) for some atoms. Each atom that has altlocs is marked with an altloc identifier, typically A and B.
The OCA Database and Browser highlights the structure with the most 'altlocs', see Believe It or Not! within Proteopedia for information mined from OCA.
The altloc identifier occupies the 17th column for the ATOM records section of the [PDB format.
Note
It looks like in the mmCIF format correspondence may be 'alt_id'. However, because that is listed as corresponding to 'alt_loc' , it is unclear if that is the same as 'altLoc' listed in the PDB format guide.
