Basic usage#

Let’s test lipid names:

import molsysmt as msm

print('Is POPC a lipid?:', msm.element.group.lipid.is_lipid('POPC'))
print('Is CHOL a lipid?:', msm.element.group.lipid.is_lipid('CHOL'))
print('Is ALA a lipid?:', msm.element.group.lipid.is_lipid('ALA'))

Is POPC a lipid?: True
Is CHOL a lipid?: False
Is ALA a lipid?: False
