'''read_pdbstr''' in an API-only function which reads a pdb file from a Python string.  This feature can be used to load or update structures into PyMOL without involving any temporary files.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===PYMOL API ONLY===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;source lang=&amp;quot;python&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
cmd.read_pdbstr( string pdb-content, string object name &lt;br /&gt;
   [ ,int state [ ,int finish [ ,int discrete ] ] ] )&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/source&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===NOTES===&lt;br /&gt;
'''state''' is a 1-based state index for the object.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
'''finish''' is a flag (0 or 1) which can be set to zero to improve [[:Category:Performance|performance]] when loading large numbers of objects, but you must call &amp;quot;finish_object&amp;quot; when you are done.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
'''discrete''' is a flag (0 or 1) which tells PyMOL that there will be no overlapping atoms in the PDB files being loaded. '''discrete''' objects save memory but can not be edited. &lt;br /&gt;
