For the purposes of this module, a macromolecule is just a molecule that consists of several "domains". For example, a protein consists of aminoacid residues, or a nucleic acid consists of bases. Therefore Chemistry::MacroMol is derived from Chemistry::Mol, with additional methods to handle the domains.
The way things are currently structured, an atom in a macromolecule "belong" both to the MacroMol object and to a Domain object. This way you can get all the atoms in $protein via $protein->atoms, or to the atoms in residue 123 via $protein->domain(123)->atoms.
