There's no option to select that. It just uses the first one. Do you have an application where it's important to specify a particular one?
An application where this might be useful would be multitemperature PDBs
When PDB fixer selects these residue altlocs, does it do so based on highest occupancy or just the first occurrence?
It uses the first one in the file.
Hi developers of PDBfixer,
I was wondering, how do I select which one of the alternate locations (altloc) of a residue to retain in the fixed PDB? For example in 3HYD (https://www.rcsb.org/structure/3HYD), GLU 3 has two possible positions A & B but PDB fixer by default only saves position A. On the README, it is mentioned that PDBfixer can:
However I am unable to find any information in the docs which might suggest how this could be done. I am hoping to get some help here so raising this as an issue.
