11 <H3>Description</H3>
13 Files with the <a href="pdb.html">.pdb</a> extension are molecular
14 structure files in the protein databank file format. The protein
15 databank file format describes the positions of atoms in a molecular
16 structure. Coordinates are read from the ATOM and HETATM records,
17 until the file ends or an ENDMDL record is encountered.
18 GROMACS programs can read and write a simlation box in the
19 CRYST1 entry.
20 The pdb format can also be used as a trajectory format:
21 several structures, seperated by ENDMDL, can be read from
22 or written to one file.
