What is Protein Data Bank (file format)?

Protein Data Bank (PDB) is a standardized file format used for storing 3D structural data of biomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. It is widely used in bioinformatics, pharmaceutical research, and structural biology for drug discovery and molecular modeling.

Blockchain
Blockchain is a decentralized and distributed ledger technology that enables secure, transparent, and tamper-proof record-keeping. It consists of a chain of blocks, each containing transactional data, cryptographically linked to ensure integrity. Blockchain is widely used in cryptocurrencies (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum), supply chain management, smart contracts, and digital identity verification. Its decentralized nature enhances security and reduces reliance on intermediaries.
