NAME

Bio::Structure::IO::pdb - PDB input/output stream

SYNOPSIS

It is probably best not to use this object directly, but rather go through the Bio::Structure::IO handler system. Go:

    $stream = Bio::Structure::IO->new(-file => $filename, 
    				      -format => 'PDB');

    while ( (my $structure = $stream->next_structure()) ) {
	# do something with $structure
    }

DESCRIPTION

This object can transform Bio::Structure objects to and from PDB flat file databases. The working is similar to that of the Bio::SeqIO handlers.
