       pdb_tidy - manual page for pdb_tidy 2.5.1

DESCRIPTION

       pdb_tidy File not found or not readable: '--help'

       Modifies the file to adhere (as much as possible) to the format specifications.

       Expects a sorted file - REMARK/ATOM/HETATM/END - so use pdb_sort in case you are not sure.

   This includes:
              - Adding TER statements after chain breaks/changes - Truncating/Padding all lines to 80 characters
              - Adds END statement at the end of the file

       Will remove all original TER/END statements from the file.

   Usage:
              python pdb_tidy.py [-strict] <pdb file>

   Example:
              python pdb_tidy.py 1CTF.pdb python pdb_tidy.py -strict 1CTF.pdb  #  does  not  add  TER  on  chain
              breaks

       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.
