Alternate locations of backbones

At sufficiently high resolution, empirical methods for determining macromolecular structure may detect multiple locations for some atoms, termed alternate locations. When alternate locations for backbones deviate substantially, the backbone may separate into two pathways ("fork") and then rejoin into a single pathway.

Alternate location server

An Alternate Location Server (part of the OCA Browser system) scans all entries in the Protein Data Bank, listing those that have alternate locations.
