The **M**acro**M**olecular **T**ransmission **F**ormat (MMTF) is a binary encoding of biological structures. For a general introduction to the format visit the [website](http://mmtf.rcsb.org/).

The following encoding/decoding libaries implementing the specification are available:

* [Java encoder/decoder](https://github.com/rcsb/mmtf-java)
* [Python encoder/decoder](https://github.com/rcsb/mmtf-python)
* [JavaScript decoder](https://github.com/rcsb/mmtf-javascript)

> :warning: Please note that while the specification and tools for the MMTF format are still available, up-to-date MMTF files for the PDB archive will not be produced anymore from July 2024. Users are strongly encouraged to migrate to the [BinaryCIF format](https://github.com/molstar/BinaryCIF). Details on how to access BinaryCIF(BCIF) data files for the entire PDB archive are available [here](https://www.rcsb.org/docs/programmatic-access/file-download-services#pdb-entry-files).
