LRF to PDB converter

LRF stands for the proprietary SonyPortable Reader File format, used for digital publications and documents. It is the native file format for the Sony Reader and other Sony ebook devices. Unlike other ebook formats like ePub, which allow readers to use different platforms and applications, LRF is locked entirely in the Sony platform.

Files in the LRF format are basically archives of JPEG images created with the Sony Librie software, referencing an xml document with a table of contents. It supports DRM encryption and can be converted to other formats like ePub or PDF using third-party software.

The PDB (Protein Data Bank) file format is used to store 3-dimensional structural data of biological molecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids, which can be visualized with chemical visualization programs. The PDB file contains information about the atom's coordinates, the residue name and sequence number, the secondary structure information, and numbers and names of hetero-atoms.

The PDB files are faithfully adopted to the widely used mmCIF (macromolecular Crystallographic Information File) syntax and are loosely associated with the following formats: mdl (Mol), mol2 (Tripos), sdf (Sparta), and cif (Cambridge).
