Chemistry/File/PDB version 0.22 =============================== This module reads and writes PDB files. The PDB file format is commonly used to describe proteins, particularly those stored in the Protein Data Bank (L<http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/>). The current version of this module only uses the ATOM and HETATM records, ignoring everything else. This module automatically registers the 'pdb' format with Chemistry::Mol, so that PDB files may be identified and read by Chemistry::Mol->read(). For autodetection purpuses, it assumes that files ending in .pdb or having a line matching /^(ATOM |HETATM)/ are PDB files. The PDB reader and writer is designed for dealing with Chemistry::MacroMol objects, but it can also create and use Chemistry::Mol objects by throwing some information away. CHANGES SINCE VERSION 0.21 - Add unique ID to atom names when generating from a $mol object. - Add a TITLE and a REMARK on writing.
