Hi Bradely,

If you don't need the geometry restraints it is much faster to work with the pdb.hierarchy directly (from Python). Are you aware of the iotbx pdb tutorial?

http://cctbx.sourceforge.net/sbgrid2008/tutorial.html

If you do need the restraints the main way to speed up processing is to use multiple cpus.

Developers,

I am doing some automated analysis on many pdbs. My analysis is contained to a single chain in a given pdb. Aa such, to cut down on computing time I am generating many pdbs cut to the desired chain. When using pdbtools I get the following

Sorry: Fatal problems interpreting PDB file:
  Number of atoms with unknown nonbonded energy type symbols: 46
    Please edit the PDB file to resolve the problems and/or supply a
    CIF file with matching restraint definitions, along with
    apply_cif_modification and apply_cif_link parameter definitions
    if necessary.
    Also note that phenix.ready_set and phenix.elbow are available
    for creating restraint definitions (CIF files).


Is there a way around this without creating a CIF file or another tool to cut pdbs?

Thanks,
Bradley
