💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

lowkey first thing the page shows you is this: pdb_selhetatm File not found or not readable: '--help' yes bestie, that's verbatim what's in the description, we're just reporting the facts 🙈

so what does she DO? she selects all HETATM records in the PDB file ✨ that's it. that's the whole job. and she ate 👑

🦋 Usage:

python pdb_selhetatm.py <pdb file>

🌸 Example:

python pdb_selhetatm.py 1CTF.pdb

okay so here's the lore 🧚 this program is part of the pdb-tools suite of utilities and it should not be distributed isolatedly — fr fr, she travels with her girls 💜

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 🔥 like a little relay race of data, iconic behaviour honestly.

and the origin story? they are based on old FORTRAN77 code that was taking too much effort to maintain and compile. RIP 😭🪦 gone but never forgotten.

that's the whole page, bestie — this was pdb_selhetatm 2.5.1, dated September 2024, and it lives at section PDB_SELHETATM(1) of the manual. mwah 💋 go select some HETATM records, you've got this 💅✨🎀
