"Remove alternative conformations" is an option in the CCP4i gui, in "Pdbset" and "PDBcur" of the "Program List" - and in "Coordinate Utilities", "Edit PDB File" task.

Dear Christian,

I could not find this documented in the pdbset man-page. However, pdbcur has
the keyword 'mostprob' which should do what Jacob wants.

Cheers,
Tim

The ccp4 solution would be to use pdbset with the remove alternative
conformation option

Sorry for the non-ccp4 solution, but:

phenix.pdbtools remove_alt_confs=true mypdb.pdb

should work.

Cheers,

Yes, okay, I'll do that--boring but not too exceedingly tedious.

I think I will have to strip out a lot of alternative
conformations-anyone know how to do this automatically, perhaps in Coot?

There is no built-in function to do this, it would take a few lines of
scripting,

but it would probably be quicker (and more boring) to use Modelling ->
Residues with Alt Conf, navigate that dialog using Delete Residue [with
Keep Delete Active]
