+ <strong>mmCIF File Format</strong>
+ <p>The mmCIF file format (macromolecular Crystallographic
+ Information) was developed under the auspices of the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) to extend the Crystallographic Information
+ File (CIF) data representation used for describing small molecule
+ structures and associated diffraction experiments.</p>
+ <strong>Merits of mmCIF file format</strong>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Large structures (containing >62 chains and/or 99999 ATOM
+ records) that cannot be fully represented in the PDB file format are
+ available in the PDB archive as single PDBx/mmCIF files.</li>
+ <li>PDBx/mmCIF file format provides richer data annotation</li>
+ <li>PDBx/mmCIF became the standard PDB archive format in 2014.
+ Since 2016 the PDB File Format is no longer being modified or
+ extended to support new content.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <em>mmCIF file format support for importing 3D structure data from
+ flat file and EMBL-PDBe via mmCIF was added in Jalview 2.9.1</em>
