Such molecular structure data files are called [[atomic coordinate files]]. JSmol is able to read more than 50 formats of such files. The most common are XYZ format for small organic compounds (usually <100 atoms), and [[PDB file|PDB or mmCIF formats]] for macromolecules. | Such molecular structure data files are called [[atomic coordinate files]].

The most reliable macromolecular structures are determined experimentally by [[X-ray crystallography]], [[Nuclear magnetic resonance]], or cryo-electron microscopy. Macromolecular models determined from [[Theoretical models|theory]] are much less reliable, and are excluded from the [[Protein Data Bank]]. | Small molecule structures are available from several large databases. The international repository of macromolecular structures is the [[Protein Data Bank]].
