Legacies

As this short example shows. PDB files use different syntax for different records and both writing and reading such files require much effort. Another problem is the extensibility of this format to handle new kinds of information, which further complicates the file structure. The Protein Data Bank has been faced with the consequences - the existing legacy data comply with several different PDB formats, so they are not uniform and they arc more difEcuh to handle (145, 155, 157]. As mentioned in Section 2,9.7.1, there is a much more flexible and general way of representing molecular structure codes and associated information - the STAR file format and the file formats based on it.

Is there one best periodic table Many chemists argue that the form of the table is of little importance and that one s choice depends on what particubr aspect of periodicity one wants to depict. But surely this is not the case if. for example, rival versions put helium and hydrogen in radically different places. Such debates will continue for a long time. However, the debate would not exist without Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev, and for the very legacy of periodicity we are indebted to him.
