PDB (Protein Data Bank) is an international database that stores protein structure data. It provides global protein structure information, including atomic coordinates, structural topology, and other related experimental and computational results. The PDB database is jointly managed and maintained by multiple international cooperation organizations.
The main goal of the PDB database is to provide detailed information on protein structures for scientific researchers, biologists, and drug designers. Proteins are crucial molecules in living organisms, and understanding their three-dimensional structure is crucial for understanding their functions and interactions. Through PDB, researchers can access tens of thousands of protein structures and conduct various analyses and comparative studies.
Each entry in the PDB database represents a protein structure, which includes detailed descriptions of the protein's sequence information, topological structure, and chemical composition. These data are obtained through experimental techniques such as X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance, etc., or computational simulation methods such as molecular dynamics simulations. The PDB database also provides a series of tools and resources to assist researchers in structural visualization, functional prediction, and drug design.
DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is an electronic drawing file format originally developed by AutoCAD and widely used. It is used to exchange and share 2D and 3D graphic data between different CAD (Computer Aided Design) software.
DXF files are in plain text format, which is readable and editable. It can store various types of graphic entities, such as points, lines, circles, polylines, polygons, arcs, text, and so on. In addition, DXF also supports storing metadata information such as layers, colors, linetypes, fonts, sizes, block definitions, and block references.
Due to DXF being an open file format, many CAD software supports importing and exporting DXF files. This enables the exchange of drawing data between different CAD software, facilitating collaboration and collaborative work between designers and engineers.
In DXF files, graphic data is saved in ASCII format and can be viewed and modified using a text editor. The structure of DXF files is clear and easy to parse and process. It is widely used in fields such as mechanical design, architectural design, and circuit design, becoming a universal data exchange standard between CAD software.
