hPDB-1.2.0.9: Protein Databank file format library
Protein Data Bank file format is a most popular format for holding biological macromolecular data.
This is a very fast sequential parser:
- below 7s for the largest entry in PDB - 1HTQ which is over 70MB - as compared with
- 11s of RASMOL 2.7.5,
- or 2m15s of BioPython with Python 2.6 interpreter.
In its parallel incarnation it is most probably the fastest parser for PDB format.
It is aimed to not only deliver event-based interface, but also a high-level data structure for manipulating data in spirit of BioPython's PDB parser.
