NAME

       pdb2cif - Convert the content of a PDB file into mmCIF format

SYNOPSIS

       pdb2cif [OPTION] input [output]

DESCRIPTION

       This tools attempts to write out the contents of a PDB file in mmCIF format.

       The conversion of a PDB file into mmCIF format is not trivial. The numbering schemes
       differ and in some cases it is even necessary to do a sequence alignment to recover
       correct sequence numbers.

       When CCP4 is installed and sourced correctly, this tool will use the information in the
       CCP4 monomers library to guide the construction of a correct mmCIF file. In the absence of
       CCP4 a best effort is done.

OPTIONS

       Input and output files do not need the option flag. If no output file is given, the result
       is printed to /fIstdout. Both input and output files can be compressed.

       --dict=<file>
              Specify a dictionary file containing restraints for residues specific to this file.

       --validate
              Validate the file before writing the output.

       --verbose,-V
              Be more verbose, useful to diagnose validation errors.
