Formats, Brookhaven Protein Databank

Data formats in the Brookhaven Protein Databank have become an intensively discussed topic in the last few years. The original PDB file format [17] was created in the late 1970s and maintained by the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics [13]. In order to improve the organization of bibliographic... 

Brookhaven Protein Databank refcodes 6ACN, Aconitase (Pig) IPHH, p-Hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase (Pseudomonas fluorescens) 3FXN, Flavodoxin (Clostridium MP) 2TS1 Tyrosyl tRNA synthetase (Bacillus stearothermophilus), 2LIV, Leu-Ile-Val binding protein (E. coli). Short format references are given in Appendix B. 

This format was developed for the representation of three-dimensional protein structures in the databank of such structures built by the Brookhaven National Laboratory. It has, however, been widely adopted for showing protein structures.
