004/**
005 * <b>Definition</b>: A term that describes the covalent modifications to an amino
006 * acid or nucleic acid chain. For proteins this is reference to the PSI
007 * Molecular Interaction ontology (MI) of covalent sequence modifications.
008 * For nucleic acids, there is currently no recommended standard CV.
009 *<p>
010 * <b>Usage</b>: Whenever possible the most specific term in the ontology should be used.
011 * For example PSI-MI term o-phospho-serine should be used instead of the
012 * parent "phosphorylated residue" when annotating a phosphorylation at a
013 * known serine amino acid.
