pdb_b.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

"""
Modifies the b-factor of a PDB file (default 10.0).

usage: python pdb_b.py -<bfactor> <pdb file>
example: python pdb_b.py -10.0 1CTF.pdb

This program is part of the PDB tools distributed with HADDOCK
or with the HADDOCK tutorial. The utilities in this package
can be used to quickly manipulate PDB files, with the benefit
of 'piping' several different commands. This is a rewrite of old
FORTRAN77 code that was taking too much effort to compile. RIP.
