Question
I'm trying to make a script that will take a MTZ file (reflections), convert it into a CCP4 map, then pare that map down to only encompass a desired area to cut down on the size of my PyMol session files so they're email-able (a.k.a. not 200 MB) and ease the burden on my POS computer.
I currently have a Python script that can fft (CCP4) to create the map and mapmask to fix unit cell tiling issues. What I want to add now is something that can take a PDB file and strip out most of it except, for example, residues within 10
Explanation / Answer
With the program RasMol, you can select, as Mad Scientist explained it for PyMol, everything in a specific distance around an atom. RasMol can be run from command line, using a script (with the -script option under UNIX).
