This repository contains utilities for interacting with the ModBase database of comparative protein structure models:
Convert a PDB file, downloaded from ModBase, to mmCIF or BinaryCIF format. This should preserve all information in the PDB file.
This utility requires a local mirror of PDB in compressed mmCIF format.
Use the -r command line option to point to the location of this mirror.
It also needs the python-modelcif
library, version 1.3 or later, to read the mmCIF files for any template
structures and to write the final mmCIF or BinaryCIF ModBase file.
