:mod:`edPDB` -- editing PDB files
=================================

A collection of python snippets to quickly edit pdb files. This is
typically used for setting up system for MD simulations.

Typically, one instantiates a :class:`edPDB.cbook.PDB` object (which
can also be accessed as :class:`edPDB.PDB`) and uses the methods
defined on it to write new pdb files.

The cook book :mod:`edPDB.cbook` contains some more specialized
functions that are not integrated into :class:`~edPDB.cbook.PDB` yet;
study the source and use them as examples.

Built on top of :mod:`Bio.PDB` from Biopython_.

Modules
-------

:mod:`edPDB.cbook`
    Cook-book with short functions that show how to implement basic
    functionality.

:mod:`edPDB.xpdb`
    Extensions to the Bio.PDB class.

:mod:`edPDB.selections`
    Selections that can be used to extract parts of a pdb.


Future plans
------------

Eventually using this module should become as intuitive as ``grep``,
``sed`` and ``cat`` of pdb files.
