Overview
The TITLE record contains a title for the experiment or analysis that is represented in the entry. It should identify an entry in the PDB in the same way that a title identifies a paper.

1 - 6 Record name "TITLE "
9 - 10 Continuation continuation Allows concatenation of multiple
records.
11 - 70 String title Title of the experiment.
Details
* The title of the entry is free text and should describe the contents of the entry and any procedures or conditions that distinguish this entry from similar entries. It presents an opportunity for the depositor to emphasize the underlying purpose of this particular experiment.
* Some items that may be included in TITLE are:
- Experiment type.
- Description of the mutation.
- The fact that only alpha carbon coordinates have been provided in the entry.
Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control
This record is free text so no verification of format is required. The title is supplied by the depositor, but PDB staff may exercise editorial judgment in consultation with depositors in assigning the title.
Relationships to Other Record Types
COMPND, SOURCE, EXPDTA, and REMARKs provide information that may also be found in TITLE. You may think of the title as describing the experiment, and the compound record as describing the molecule(s).
