Furthermore, Capture area screenshot / Capture node screenshot options are accessible via Run command (Ctrl+Shift+P) by entering command “ screenshot ”. The video tutorial below demonstrates...

Protein-Ligand Binding Site Analysis using Chimera

Image
Chimera (or UCSF Chimera ) is an interactive molecular visualization and analysis program developed by the Resource for Biocomputing, Visualization, and Informatics ( RBVI ) at the University of California, San Francisco ( UCSF ). ChimeraX (or UCSF ChimeraX ) is the next-generation molecular visualization program, which is a successor of Chimera. The Chimera/ChimeraX program supports analyzing various molecular structures and related data, including sequence alignments, docking results, molecular assemblies, electron density maps, trajectories, and conformational ensembles. It can be downloaded freely for academic, government, nonprofit, and personal use. Protein-Ligand Interaction Models In the protein-ligand interaction model, proteins or ligands are represented by a wire-frame model / stick model / ball-and-stick model / cartoon model / space-fill model / surface model, but not both. The interactions between protein and ligand atoms is represented by dotted or dashed lines. T...
