'''PDB Format.''' The most popular macromolecular data format among crystallographers is the one used by the early (1970's) [[Protein Data Bank]], called the ''Protein Data Bank Format'' or ''PDB Format''. Data files in this format are called ''PDB Files''. Although this format has serious limitations, it remains popular partly because the data files are in plain text, and are relatively easy to read by humans. | '''PDB Format.'''
