✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

pdb_fetch Invalid PDB code: '--help' 😭

No fr, what this icon actually does: it downloads a structure in PDB format from the RCSB website. 🧚 That's the whole vibe.

And if you want it, it also allows downloading the (first) biological structure — but only if you select it. iykyk. 🦋

🎀 Usage:

python pdb_fetch.py [-biounit] <pdb code>

🌸 Example:

python pdb_fetch.py 1brs
       # downloads unit cell, all 6 chains

python pdb_fetch.py -biounit 1brs
       # downloads biounit, 2 chains

This program is part of the pdb-tools suite of utilities and should not be distributed isolatedly. 🚨 (like, do not separate her from the group chat, she needs her sisters.) The pdb-tools were created to quickly manipulate PDB files using the terminal, and they can be used sequentially, with one tool streaming data to another. 🔥 They are based on old FORTRAN77 code that was taking way too much effort to maintain and compile. RIP. 💀🫶
