The ever increasing number of structural biological data calls for robust and efficient software for analysis. Easy Structural Biology Template Library (ESBTL) is a lightweight C++ library that allows the handling of PDB data and provides a data structure suitable for geometric constructions and analyses. The parser and data model provided by this ready-to-use include-only library allows adequate treatment of usually discarded information (insertion code, atom occupancy, etc.) while still being able to detect badly formatted files. The template-based structure allows rapid design of new computational structural biology applications and is fully compatible with the new remediated PDB archive format. It also allows the code to be easy-to-use while being versatile enough to allow advanced user developments.

不断增加的结构生物学数据需要强大且高效的分析软件。简易结构生物学模板库（ESBTL）是一个轻量级的 C++库，允许处理 PDB 数据，并提供适合几何构造和分析的数据结构。此即用型的仅包含头文件的库提供的解析器和数据模型允许充分处理通常被丢弃的信息（插入码、原子占有率等），同时仍然能够检测格式不良的文件。基于模板的结构允许快速设计新的计算结构生物学应用程序，并且完全兼容新的修复后的 PDB 档案格式。它还允许代码易于使用，同时具有足够的通用性，以允许高级用户进行开发。
