Definition and Exchange of Crystallographic Data

PDB exchange CIF Dictionary

The Protein Data Bank exchange CIF dictionary (pdbx) includes and extends the macromolecular CIF dictionary (mmCIF) to describe all aspects of data processing and database operations necessary for the deposition of macromolecular crystal structures in the PDB. It is not directly supported by the IUCr through COMCIFS, but complements work on, and maintains compatibility with, the mmCIF dictionary. Currently the pdbx dictionary is maintained by the staff of the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics (RCSB).
