PBM

The PBM (Portable Bitmap) format is a simple raster graphics file format designed for black-and-white images. It is part of the Netpbm format family, allowing for easy manipulation and conversion of pixel data. Widely used in image processing applications, PBM files are lightweight, providing efficient storage and fast rendering while maintaining high quality. Ideal for developers and graphic designers seeking a straightforward bitmap solution.

PDB

The Protein Data Bank (PDB) file format is essential for the representation of three-dimensional structures of biological macromolecules. Widely used in bioinformatics and computational biology, PDB files enable researchers to analyze protein structures, interactions, and functions, facilitating advancements in drug discovery and molecular biology.
