       Deletes all atoms matching the given element in the PDB file.

       Elements are read from the element column.

   Example:
       python pdb_delelem.py -H 1CTF.pdb
              # deletes all protons

       python pdb_delelem.py -N 1CTF.pdb
              # deletes all nitrogens

       python pdb_delelem.py -H,N 1CTF.pdb
              # deletes all protons and nitrogens

       This  program  is part of the `pdb-tools` suite of utilities and should not be distributed
       isolatedly. The `pdb-tools` were  created  to  quickly  manipulate  PDB  files  using  the
       terminal,  and can be used sequentially, with one tool streaming data to another. They are
       based on old FORTRAN77 code that was taking too much effort to maintain and compile. RIP.
