## Minimal Python example

Below is a minimal example demonstrating a basic MDAnalysis workflow.

```python
import MDAnalysis as mda

# Load a topology and trajectory
u = mda.Universe("topology.pdb", "trajectory.xtc")

# Select protein atoms
protein = u.select_atoms("protein")

print(f"Number of atoms: {protein.n_atoms}")
print(protein.positions[:5])
