PDB-REPRDB Selection Criterion

Constraints to eliminate and arrange chains are here.
Each representative is different from all other representatives in terms of either
a ) Sequence similarity (ID% =< threshold1)

ID%:
Percentage of identical amino-acid residues between corresponding residue pairs in the two compared sequences.
OR
b ) 3-dimensional structures similarity (Dmax >= threshold2)

Dmax:
Maximum 'Ca'-distance between the corresponding residue pairs in the two compared structures.
