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
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.
26 An pdb file should look like this
