#' PDB File Writer
#' 
#' Writes a Protein Data Bank (PDB) coordinate file from an object of class \sQuote{pdb}.
#' 
#' All data stored in the \sQuote{pdb} object are written to a PDB file. A list of objects of class \sQuote{pdb} can be provided to write multiple MODEL data into a single file. In this case, each \sQuote{pdb} object of the list must have the same \code{crystal} and \code{conect} components.
#' \cr
#' To write only a subset of a \sQuote{pdb} object see function \code{\link{subset.pdb}}.
#' 
#' @param x an object, or a list of objects, of class \sQuote{pdb}.
#' @param file a single element character vector containing the name of the PDB file to be created.
#' 
#' @return No return value, called for side effects.
