NAME

       pdb_delchain - manual page for pdb_delchain 2.5.0

DESCRIPTION

       pdb_delchain Chain identifier name is invalid: '-HELP'

       Deletes all atoms matching specific chains in the PDB file.

   Usage:
              python pdb_delchain.py -<option> <pdb file>

   Example:
       python pdb_delchain.py -A 1CTF.pdb
              # removes chain A from PDB file

       python pdb_delchain.py -A,B 1CTF.pdb
              # removes chains A and B from PDB file

       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.
