Basic usage#

Let’s test capping group names:

import molsysmt as msm

print('Is ACE a terminal capping?:', msm.element.group.terminal_capping.is_terminal_capping('ACE'))
print('Is NME a terminal capping?:', msm.element.group.terminal_capping.is_terminal_capping('NME'))
print('Is ALA a terminal capping?:', msm.element.group.terminal_capping.is_terminal_capping('ALA'))

Is ACE a terminal capping?: True
Is NME a terminal capping?: True
Is ALA a terminal capping?: False
