Cleanup alternate locations for residues in a PDB file (Informatics)
This tool runs the pdb_selaltloc
function from pdb-tools python package to clean up alternate locations for residues in a PDB file.
- pdb_file: File path to a PDB file that contains alternate locations for residues
- select_certain_altloc: when provided, only the residues with the specified alternate location will be kept in the output file. Otherwise, the alternate location with the highest occupancy will be kept.
A cleaned PDB file with only one location for each residue
