PDB_DELRESNAME(1)

✨ PDB_DELRESNAME ✨

okay bestie, so this is the manual for pdb_delresname, and yeah it lives in section 1 of the manual, we love a User Commands moment 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

pdb_delresname — literally the manual page for pdb_delresname 2.5.1, no cap 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

pdb_delresname Residue name is invalid: '-HELP'

(yeah that's the actual line, we don't make the rules 😭)

okay so what does it DO. It removes all residues matching the given name in the PDB file. periodt.

and here's the lil catch you need to know: residue names are matched without taking into consideration spaces. so don't come for me about whitespace, it's giving irrelevant ✨

---

🎀 Usage:

python pdb_delresname.py -<option> <pdb file>

🍓 Example:

python pdb_delresname.py -ALA 1CTF.pdb
       # removes only Alanines

python pdb_delresname.py -ASP,GLU 1CTF.pdb
       # removes (-) charged residues

see how it works?? you slap a - in front of the residue name(s), comma-separate if you're feeling spicy, and boom 💥 Alanines gone, or all your negatively charged residues gone. iconic behaviour fr fr.

This program is part of the pdb-tools suite of utilities and should not be distributed isolatedly. 👑 like, they're a family, you can't just take one out of the group chat.

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. 🦋 pipeline energy, we love to see it.

They are based on old FORTRAN77 code that was taking too much effort to maintain and compile. RIP. 💀🙈 (gone but never forgotten, ngl)

that's the whole page bestie!! this was pdb_delresname 2.5.1, dated September 2024, and yeah it's filed under PDB_DELRESNAME(1) — go delete some residues, you absolute main character 🧚💜✨
