because alternate conformations are different models in time/space all
model manipulations may be available for them.
In a first simplification alternate conformations are inner loop models,
e.g. animate will loop through them
*;A/1
*;B/1
*/2
*;A/3
*;B/3
(but this is a simplification, I think this will do it, but it is not
clear not to look combinatorial at alternate conformations per residue, e.g.
21.*;A/1 or 45.*;A/1
21.*;A/1 ,   45.*,B/1
21.*;B/1 ,   45.*;A/1
21.*;B/1 ,   45.*;B/1
*/2
...
)
