add the default radius for the element

I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you want to achieve with this and the other two pull requests: #1119 and #1120 . What is your motivation? What use case would you have for this?

Also, you should have a look at other files in the Bio.PDB module to get a sense of how they are structure. Namely, the copyright notice at the top of the file, naming conventions, etc.

@autodataming could you explain what it is you are trying to do here?

[autodataming]

@peterjc I want to calculate the surface of the protein.

[JoaoRodrigues]

@autodataming There are at least three modules that do so already: ResidueDepth (uses MSMS), NACCESS (uses NACCESS), and HSExposure (does not have dependencies).

Why would you want to store this data (radii alone) without any other accessory code to calculate surfaces?

I'm going to close this issue for now - if you have a more detailed idea please do get back to us @autodataming - thank you!
