_atom_sites.solution_primary

Name:
_atom_sites.solution_primary

Alias:
_atom_sites_solution_primary

Definition:

   
    Codes which identify the methods used to locate the initial
    atom sites. The *_primary code identifies how the first
    atom sites were determined; the *_secondary code identifies
    how the remaining non-hydrogen sites were located; and the
    *_hydrogens code identifies how the hydrogen sites were located.
