Study of protein, predicting its structure to know its function is an important field in bioinformatics. Protein unit that is twenty amino acids have total information for converting linear sequences of amino acid into its unique and globular structures. The data to make protein fold correctly depends on the information present in the input PDB file, but data present in the file is noisy. Thus there is need for developing a customize software development kit or API to read the PDB file in structural manner.
