PDB File

[Rajeshwaran]

Hi,

I have created an application in debug mode. It generates a
corresponding pdb file in VC++ 7. Could somone guide me to understand
the structure of the pdb file and decoding the contents of the pdb
file.

Any info on the above is welcome.

Regards,

Not here, but I'm sure someone on a windows group could.

If your application is generating a Protein DataBase (PDB) file,
then your application must know the structure of the file it
is creating. Protein DataBase files have a fairly simple file structure.

If your toolset is creating the pdb file then that's a question
about the toolset, not about the C language, and is best answered
in a newsgroup that deals regularily with that toolset.

It contains detailed info of the PDB file format.

Interesting. My colleagues have told me some details of current .pdb
format were secret, and until recently not permitted to be used with
full compatibility by other compilers. Don't hold your breath for gcc to
work with it.

Probably interesting, but unavailable due to lack of URL.
