[PyMOL] Splitting a PDB file into its constituent chains, and making multiple (smaller) PDB files

[Anasuya D. <an...@mb...>]

Hello,

I wanted to know if its possible in PyMOL to split a PDB file with multiple
chains,into its component chains and make smaller PDB files corresponding to
each chain.

For eg: I have a pdb file, 1a55.pdb, having chains P,Q and R. How do I make
split it to separate components like 1a55_P.pdb, 1a55_Q.pdb, 1a55_R.pdb

Also, in case I have a large number of multiple chain PDB files, how could I go
about splitting each of them?

Please help.
