Remove all fields from a struct except if

Hi,
I have a struct mk with fields mk.id, mk.x and mx.z. There are 800 of each, so I have mk(1).id, ..., mk(800).id, and the same for x and z.
I need to do several calculations that require loading only one of these at the time, for a given parameter. This is, I have a function that takes one argument, say i, and I would like to load the fields that correspond to that i. Something such as load('input','mk(i)'), to get mk(i).id, mk(i).x and mk(i).z. This doesn't work, and load(fullfile('input.mat),'mk(i)') doesn't work either (with i replaced by a number). I receive a message saying "Warning: Variable 'mk(1)' not found".
Any suggestions? An alternative would be to load everything and delete all but mk(i).id, mk(i).x and mk(i).z, but I have no idea how to remove all but those fields.
Thanks,
Fernando

MATFILE is the closest there is to your requirement. And it is a rather new feature. I use R20012a.
N = 8;
mk = struct( 'id' , num2cell(transpose(1:N)) ...
, 'x' , num2cell(rand(N,1)) ...
, 'y' , num2cell(randn(N,1)) );
save( 'mk.mat', 'mk' )
mo = matfile( 'mk.mat' ); % creates an object
mo.mk(7,1)
ans =
id: 7
x: 0.8407
y: 0.4882
