       pdb_selelem - manual page for pdb_selelem 2.5.1

DESCRIPTION

       pdb_selelem Element name is invalid: '-HELP'

       Selects all atoms that match the given element(s) in the PDB file.

       Elements are read from the element column.

   Usage:
              python pdb_selelem.py -<option> <pdb file>

   Example:
       python pdb_selelem.py -H 1CTF.pdb
              # selects all protons

       python pdb_selelem.py -N 1CTF.pdb
              # selects all nitrogens

       python pdb_selelem.py -H,N 1CTF.pdb
              # selects all protons and nitrogens

       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.
