MMTF-Python

MMTF-Python is a Python library for decoding, encoding, and working with the Macromolecular Transmission Format (MMTF), a binary encoding designed for efficient storage and transmission of biological structures. The current version is 1.1.3, released in July 2022. While the library is stable, the RCSB PDB no longer serves MMTF data by default, encouraging a switch to BinaryCIF (BCIF). Therefore, the project is considered to be in maintenance mode.
