🧹 PDB Structure Cleaner

• Removes common non-target molecules such as solvent (HOH, WAT), ligands, ions, glycerol, HEPES, etc.
• Optional: keep ligands (for complex simulation), cofactors (e.g. NAD/FAD), or metal ions (Zn/Mg)
• Or enable “Keep Protein Chains” to retain only backbone atoms (ATOM records)

This tool performs automated filtering based on predefined residue categories (e.g., water, ions, ligands, cofactors). While common functional components are retained according to user selection, we strongly recommend visually inspecting the cleaned structure using PyMOL or other molecular visualization tools. Manual inspection ensures that biologically relevant entities—such as catalytic metal ions, active-site ligands, or bound cofactors—are not inadvertently removed prior to downstream modeling or simulation.
