WRITE_MODEL -- write MODEL

FILE = $\langle{\tt string:1}\rangle$ 'default' name of the coordinates' file
OUTPUT_DIRECTORY = $\langle{\tt string:1}\rangle$ '' output directory
MODEL_FORMAT = $\langle{\tt string:0}\rangle$ 'PDB' selects output atom file type: 'PDB' | 'CHARMM' | 'UHBD' | 'GRASP'
WRITE_ALL_ATOMS = $\langle{\tt logical:1}\rangle$ on whether to write all atoms, even if unselected
NO_TER = $\langle{\tt logical:1}\rangle$ off whether to not write TER into PDB

Requirements:
MODEL

Description:
This command writes the current MODEL to a file in the selected format. If the file format is 'PDB', only the selected atoms are written out when WRITE_ALL_ATOMS = off; otherwise all atoms are written out.

The 'GRASP' format is the same as the 'PDB' format, except that it includes two special lines at the top of the file and the atomic radii and charges in the columns following the Cartesian coordinates of atoms. This format is useful for input to program GRASP, written by Anthony Nicholls in the group of Barry Honig at Columbia University [Nicholls et al., 1991].

Example: See READ_MODEL command.
