Write a Structure object or a mmCIF dictionary as a mmCIF file.

Examples

>>> from Bio.PDB import MMCIFParser
>>> from Bio.PDB.mmcifio import MMCIFIO
>>> parser = MMCIFParser()
>>> structure = parser.get_structure("1a8o", "PDB/1A8O.cif")
>>> io=MMCIFIO()
>>> io.set_structure(structure)
>>> io.save("bio-pdb-mmcifio-out.cif")

  • filepath (string or filehandle) – output file

  • select (object) – selects which entities will be written.

Typically select is a subclass of L{Select}, it should have the following methods:

  • accept_model(model)

  • accept_chain(chain)
