[ccp4bb] PDB, mmCIF, chain ID

Hi folks I’ve noticed that for some structures, the PDB file seems to have the mmCIF entry for the “_atom_site.label_asym_id” as the chain ID, and for other PDB files it has the “_atom_site.label_entity_id”. e.g. for 4bpq, for ATOM 1 I see - > CIF: ATOM 1N N . UNK A 1 1 ? 14.187
