pdb-tools

A swiss army knife for manipulating and editing PDB files.
Looking for the other pdb-tools?
The Harms lab maintains a set of tools also called pdbtools, which perform a
slightly different set of functions. You can find them here.
About
Manipulating PDB files is often painful. Extracting a particular chain or set of
residues, renumbering residues, splitting or merging models and chains, or just
ensuring the file is conforming to the PDB specifications are examples of tasks
that can be done using any decent parsing library or graphical interface. These,
however, almost always require 1) scripting knowledge, 2) time, and 3) installing
one or more programs.
pdb-tools were designed to be a swiss-knife for the PDB format. They have no
external dependencies, besides obviously the Python programming language.
They are the descendant of a set of old FORTRAN77 programs that had the
particular advantage of working with streams, i.e. the output of one script
could be piped into another. Since FORTRAN77 is a pain too, I rewrote them in
Python and added a few more utilities.
The philosophy of the scripts is simple: one script, one task. If you want to
do two things, pipe the scripts together. Requests for new scripts will be taken
into consideration - use the Issues button or write them yourself and create a
Pull Request.
Installation Instructions
pdb-tools are available on PyPi and can be installed though pip. This is the
recommended way as it makes updating/uninstalling rather simple:
pip install pdb-tools

Because we use semantic versioning in the development of pdb-tools, every bugfix
or new feature results in a new version of the software that is automatically published
on PyPI. As such, there is no difference between the code on github and the latest version
you can install with pip. To update your installation to the latest version of the code
run:
pip install --upgrade pdb-tools

What can I do with them?
The names of the tools should be self-explanatory. Their command-line interface
is also pretty consistent. Therefore, here is a couple of examples to get you
started:

Downloading a structure
pdb_fetch 1brs > 1brs.pdb # 6 chains
pdb_fetch -biounit 1brs > 1brs.pdb # 2 chains

Renumbering a structure
pdb_reres -1 1ctf.pdb > 1ctf_renumbered.pdb

Selecting chain(s)
pdb_selchain -A 1brs.pdb > 1brs_A.pdb
pdb_selchain -A,D 1brs.pdb > 1brs_AD.pdb

Deleting hydrogens
pdb_delelem -H 1brs.pdb > 1brs_noH.pdb

Selecting backbone atoms
pdb_selatom -CA,C,N,O 1brs.pdb > 1brs_bb.pdb

Selecting chains, removing HETATM, and producing a valid PDB file
pdb_selchain -A,D 1brs.pdb | pdb_delhetatm | pdb_tidy > 1brs_AD_noHET.pdb

Note: On Windows the tools will have the .exe extension.
What can't I do with them?
Operations that involve coordinates or numerical calculations are usually not in
the scope of pdb-tools. Use a proper library for that, it will be much faster
and scalable. Also, although we provide mmCIF<->PDB converters, we do not support
large mmCIF files with more than 99999 atoms, or 9999 residues in a single chain.
Our tools will complain if you try using them on such a molecule.
Citation
We finally decided to write up a small publication describing the tools. If you
used them in a project that is going to be published, please cite us:

Requirements
pdb-tools should run on Python 2.7+ and Python 3.x. We test on Python 2.7, 3.6,
and 3.7. There are no dependencies.
Installing from Source
Download the zip archive or clone the repository with git. We recommend the git
approach since it makes updating the tools extremely simple.
# To download
git clone https://github.com/haddocking/pdb-tools
cd pdb-tools

# To update
git pull origin master

# To install
python setup.py install
