[[Protein Data Bank | World Wide Protein Data Bank]] have adopted the ''macromolecular crystallographic information format'' (mmCIF) as their primary data format for macromolecules. While this format has considerable merit from the perspective of computer scientists, it is unpopular with crystallographers, who prefer to work in the PDB data format. Therefore, the PDB maintains the entire database in both formats.
