From July 2024 the PDB file archive will not be offered in the compressed
MMTF format anymore. Users are strongly encouraged to switch to the BinaryCIF
format https://github.com/molstar/BinaryCIF, which has been available
since 2020. 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
.

RCSB PDB support is ready to assist with any issues or questions at
info@rcsb.org.

Best wishes

Jose
