Description

It would be convenient to use AtomArrayPlus as a unified molecular representation without needing to be concerned with passing around a dictionary.

For example, upon loading a structure with AtomWorks, one could store information such as the resolution, pH, etc. directly within the AtomArrayPlus; annotations may then also be provided at the entry (and perhaps later, chain-) level.

These entry-level annotations should only support basic types and should be CIF-writable

Research direction

Start by locating AtomArrayPlus and the structure-loading path in AtomWorks, then review how entry metadata is currently passed through dictionaries. Define the supported basic annotation types and CIF serialization behavior for entry-level data, including whether chain-level annotations are in scope; done means the unified representation can store and write the agreed annotations.
