How to read a saved pdb instead of retrieving from rcsb

[ssunidhi]

Hey I just went through your superimposition code. A quick query regarding that.. how do I read a local pdb file and still get all the functions to perform (instead of retrieving from rcsb and then reading them)?

Instead of pdbx.get_structure(pdbx.PDBxFile.read(rcsb.fetch("1JEY", "cif"))) you can use the structure.io.pdb.PDBFile class, e.g.:

pdb_file = pdb.PDBFile.read("path/to/your/file")
structure = pdb.get_structure(pdb_file, model=1)
