Protein Data Bank File

Summary

Name: Protein Data Bank File
Version: 3.3
Identifiers: PUID: fmt/2009
Format type: Text (Structured)
Description: The Protein Data Bank file format was developed as a human readable, standardised way to describe the 3D structures of molecules. The file is limited to 80 columns, which was based on the width of the computer punch cards that were previously used to exchange the coordinates. It was developed in 1972, and has gone through various versions, the last one being version 3.3 (defined here), which was released in 2012. The file was succeeded by the .mmCIF format in 2014.
