Theoretical Binary Representation

This document presents a conceptual binary-level structure to represent mmCIF data.

Data Block Header

(M = 01001101, etc. → MMCI...N)

Loop Structure Encoding

(L = 01001100, O = 01001111, P = 01010000 → “LOOP”)

Atom Site Encoding (Example)

mmCIF Field Binary Representation
_atom_site.id 00000001
_atom_site.type 00000010
_atom_site.coord_x 01000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
_atom_site.coord_y 01000000 01000000 00000000 00000000
_atom_site.coord_z 01000000 01000000 01000000 00000000

Notes

  • This is a conceptual representation for modeling how structured mmCIF data might look in binary.
  • Helps in designing compressed or efficient storage/transmission formats.
