The most popular macromolecular data format among crystallographers is the one developed and 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'' (file type .pdb). 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. | The most popular macromolecular data format among crystallographers is the one developed and used by the early (1970's) [[Protein Data Bank]], called the ''Protein Data Bank Format'' or ''PDB Format''.

To view a PDB file from a PDB code-titled page in Proteopedia, click on the OCA link beneath the molecule. At OCA, scroll down to the Data Retrieval section, and click on ''complete with coordinates'' in the first line there. | To view a PDB file from a PDB code-titled page in Proteopedia, click on the OCA link beneath the molecule.
