MMTF—An efficient file format for the transmission, visualization, and analysis of macromolecular structures
Fig 12
Main applications of the MMTF file format.
(A) MMTF enables fast transfer, parsing, and low client side overhead for high-performance visualization in web-based viewers and in particular mobile devices. (B) MMTF can be represented in “Big Data” formats and the small size enables high-performance, in-memory analysis and calculations of the entire PDB archive using Big Data frameworks for parallel processing.
