MBN Explorer supports several standard atomic trajectory formats, such as XYZ (text format), DCD<ref>{{cite web|title=DCD Trajectory I/O|url=http://www.mdanalysis.org/mdanalysis/documentation_pages/coordinates/DCD.html}}</ref> (binary format) and DCD+XYZ (hybrid format). It also supports the [[Protein_Data_Bank_(file_format)|Protein Data Bank]]<ref>{{cite web|title=Protein Data Bank|url=https://www.rcsb.org/pdb/home/home.do}}</ref> (pdb) file format for describing the three-dimensional structures of biomolecules.
