PLCC

PLCC (Protein Ligand Contact Computation)

The PLCC tool is the core component of the VPLG software package. It is a command line application written in Java that computes and visualizes protein-ligand graphs.

The documentation is included in the doc/ directory of your VPLG release.

You can also use the following command to access the built-in help:

java -jar plcc.jar --help

Here is the online PLCC documentation:

• PLCC Command line options: [PLCC_Commandline]
• List of all PLCC config file settings: [PLCC_Settings]
• The full PLCC readme file including the FAQ: [PLCC_Readme]. This also includes a detailed description of the VPLG graph file format (file extension ".plg").
• Output image explanation [PLCC_Images]
• Graph types [PLCC_Graphtypes]

New to the command line?

If you have never used the command line before, don't worry. We have a step-by-step guide that will get you up and running: [PLCC_from_shell]

If you just do not like the command line, you can access pre-computed VPLG output on our webserver. The PTGL serves the VPLG results for the whole RCSB PDB, and is available at http://ptgl.uni-frankfurt.de/.
