Protein Nomenclature¶

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

Examples:

• 1att.pdb
• 1att-1.pdb
• 1attA-2.pdb
• 1att_-1.pdb
