What is a .pdb file?

A PDB file (.pdb, Protein Data Bank format) is a plain-text format for 3D molecular structures, using fixed-column ATOM and HETATM records for atom coordinates plus CONECT records for bonds. It is the classic format for proteins and small molecules in structural biology.

How to use this file

Use an example .pdb file to test molecular-structure parsers and viewers (PyMOL, Jmol, NGL), coordinate extraction, and PDB-to-mmCIF or PDB-to-MOL conversion.
