The MacroMolecular Transmission Format (MMTF) is a binary encoding of biological structures. It includes the coordinates, the topology and associated data. Specifically, a large subset of the data in mmCIF or PDB files can be represented. Pronounced goals are a reduced file size for efficient transmission over the Internet or from hard disk to memory and fast decoding/parsing speed. This slackbuild does not compile but install the C++ headers needed to compile sources that supports it, e.g. Avogadro 2.
