I have the string 'atp[c]' which needs to be transformed
into 'atp', the same counts for 'atp[p]'.

regexprep({'atp[c]','atp[p]'}, '\[.\]', '')
ans =
'atp' 'atp'

This will work for any one character inbetween square
brackets. / per

Unfortunately it will also transform 'a[c]t[p]' to 'at' --
the pattern isn't anchored to only match terminal \[.\]
It will also do strange things to a[[]]tp
