    That is an excellent suggestion.  Currently the mmCIF files from the
    PDB provide the free-form text for the footnote, but do not provide
    the data that is supposed to be in the associated
    conformer_family_coord_set category.  And without that data, it will
    be difficult to figure out and show exactly which atoms/residues are
    associated with the footnote.  It looks like that part of the mmCIF
    specification is unused because it is not well thought out.  The
    conformer_family_coord_set data category makes references to CIF
    save frames, but currently " mmCIF does not support references to
    save frames or the use of save frames for purposes other than for
    encapsulating dictionary definitions"

    And since there are no examples, so it is unclear how the mmCIF
    committee was expecting this to work.<br>
    <br>
    So until atom_sites_footnote's are "fixed", is getting access to the
    text okay?  We could probably extract the relevant residues from the
    free-form text most of the time, but it would be a hack.<br>
