The Protein Data Bank file format is the format most widely used by protein crystallographers and biologists to disseminate and manipulate protein structures. Despite this, there are few user-friendly software packages available to efficiently edit and extract raw information from PDB files. This limitation often leads to many protein crystallographers wasting significant time manually editing PDB files. PDB Editor, written in Java Swing GUI, allows the user to selectively search, select, extract and edit information in parallel. Furthermore, the program is a stand-alone application written in Java which frees users from the hassles associated with platform/operating system-dependent installation and usage. PDB Editor can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdbeditorjl/.
蛋白质数据库文件格式是蛋白质晶体学家和生物学家用于传播和处理蛋白质结构的最广泛使用的格式。尽管如此，能够有效编辑和从PDB文件中提取原始信息的用户友好型软件包却很少。这种限制常常导致许多蛋白质晶体学家在手动编辑PDB文件时浪费大量时间。用Java Swing图形用户界面编写的PDB Editor允许用户并行地选择性搜索、选择、提取和编辑信息。此外，该程序是一个用Java编写的独立应用程序，使用户摆脱了与依赖平台/操作系统的安装和使用相关的麻烦。PDB Editor可从http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdbeditorjl/下载。
