Files for structures, models, and chains are labelled in the following way, which complies with standards for describing domains:[[br]]
|| '''Structures''' || Label . pdb ||
|| '''Models''' || Label - Model . pdb ||
|| '''Chains''' || Label Chain - Model . pdb ||

being
|| '''Label''' || usually the ''PDB Code'', or a user defined label
|| '''Chain''' || ''Chain Label'' for defined chaines, e.g. ''R''
|| || ''_'' (underscore) for single, undefined chains
|| || ''Chain Number'' for multiple undefined chains, e.g. ''2'' for the second chain
|| '''Model''' || ''Model Number'', e.g. ''3'' for the third model
