       pdb_delelem - manual page for pdb_delelem 2.5.1

DESCRIPTION

       pdb_delelem Element name is invalid: '-HELP'

       Deletes all atoms matching the given element in the PDB file.

       Elements are read from the element column.

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

   Example:
       python pdb_delelem.py -H 1CTF.pdb
              # deletes all protons

       python pdb_delelem.py -N 1CTF.pdb
              # deletes all nitrogens

       python pdb_delelem.py -H,N 1CTF.pdb
              # deletes 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.
