MMTF—An efficient file format for the transmission, visualization, and analysis of macromolecular structures
Fig 8
Comparison of BioJava load time for the PDB archive using different file formats.
Load time for the PDB archive (~127,000) entries using the gzip compressed PDBx/mmCIF, PDB, and MMTF formats. For MMTF, we report the load time for individual gzipped files, as well as, the load time for uncompressed Hadoop Sequence Files containing MMTF records in the full (all atom, MMTF-full) and the reduced format (MMTF-reduced). For PDB file loading, about 500 large structures that cannot be represented in the PDB format (>99,999 atom, > 62 chains) were excluded.
