The EDML Format to Exchange Energy Profiles of Protein Molecular Structures

摘要

The Energy Distribution Markup Language (EDML) is an XML-based format that we have designed and developed to exchange protein structure energy profiles between many computers and users. Energy profiles that are distributions of various potential energies over consecutive atoms in protein molecular structures can be downloaded from the Energy Distribution Data Bank in the EDML format. In the paper, we describe the purpose of the EDML, a possible use of energy profiles, and internal structure of documents created in the EDML format.
