proteindatabank

Convert an OPTIMADE structure, in the format of StructureResource to a PDB file or PDBx/mmCIF file (Protein Data Bank).

For more information on the file formats, see this FAQ page from the wwPDB website.

Note

These conversion functions are inspired heavily by the similar conversion functions in the ASE library.

See here (PDB) and here (PDBx/mmCIF) for the original ASE code.

For more information on the ASE library, see their documentation.

These conversion functions both rely on the NumPy library.

Warning

Currently, the PDBx/mmCIF conversion function is not parsing as a complete PDBx/mmCIF file.
