PDBHEADER(1)

NAME

pdbheader - extract header records from PDB files

SYNOPSIS

pdbheader [-o directory] pdb_file...

DESCRIPTION

     Pdbheader reads a Protein Data Bank file and writes to
     standard output only those records considered to be file
     ``header'' information.  The following PDB records are
     considered header information:  HEADER, COMPND, AUTHOR,
     SOURCE, REVDAT, REMARK, JRNL, FTNOTE, FORMUL, EXPDTA, HELIX,
     SHEET and TURN.  If the -o flag is given, the following
     argument is assumed to be a directory and a file of the same
     name as the input file is created in this directory to
     contain the header information.  Thus to create headers for
     all of the PDB files, one could do
          pdbheader -o /mol/pdb/headers /mol/pdb/rel/[0-9]*
