Getting structure and sequence related to PDB IDs
I have two kinds of interactions: transient and stable. We are supposed to work on stable interaction, like interactions between two monomers in a heterodimer.
In a heterodimer there are two chains ...

How can we find the distance between all residues in a PDB file?
If we have a PDB structrure, how can we find residues physically interacting with each other in space? I know that we must find the distance between residues and if the distance is less than 5-6 ...

Read PDB file, extract dihedral angles, modify dihedral angles, reconstruct Cartesian coordinates, and write PDB file
As the title summarizes, I am trying to:
Read a PDB file (for example, 1enh.pdb).
Extract the backbone dihedral angles (phi, psi).
Modify the dihedral angles (phi, ...

How to quickly and robustly convert between mmCIF and PDB?
There is already a question on PDB/CIF to MMTF, however what is a robust way to programmatically go between PDB and CIF files?
For example I can use a python script from this gist that relies on ...

How to calculate RMSD and binding energy from the already docked ligand-receptor
I have the following PDB file that looks like this.
It is downloadable here. This PDB already contains ligand and receptor together.
The red molecule is the ligand and the yellow is the receptor.
They'...
