NAME

       pdb_selchain - manual page for pdb_selchain 2.5.0

DESCRIPTION

       pdb_selchain You must provide at least one chain identifier

       Extracts one or more chains from a PDB file.

   Usage:
              python pdb_selchain.py -<chain id> <pdb file>

   Example:
       python pdb_selchain.py -C 1CTF.pdb
              # selects chain C

       python pdb_selchain.py -A,C 1CTF.pdb
              # selects chains A and C

       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.
