A note on PDB
-------------

Protein Data Bank format (PDB) is a column based format, however, there are
countless examples of non-standard ``.pdb`` files. We try our best to read
them, but if you have trouble reading the file, maybe check if the file format
is correct.
Protein Data Bank format (PDB) is column-based; however, countless examples of non-standard ``.pdb`` files exist.
We try to read them, but if you have trouble reading the file, check if the file format is compliant with PDB.
For example, some hydrogens are noted as ``HG11``, which we assume is not mercury.
