       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.
