Re: [PyMOL] Fwd: Visualization of the protein-ligand interactions

[James S. <jms...@gm...>]

Thomas,

actually I used very routine way. Firstly I've  extract conformers of
protein-ligand complexes from the trajectory. Than I've loaded it into
pymol and visualize possible interactions. Than I've selected most
representative conformers and loaded it separately into pose view to obtain
2D maps. I understand that its very routine but I had not any other
alternatives.

By the way during usage of the g_hbond with the below flags

g_hbond -f fitted.trr -s complex.gro -n index.ndx  -hbm ./hb/hbmap.xpm
-life ./hb/hblife.xvg

In the index file I've specified ligand and protein as two groups.  should
I define second group more accurately ( e.g only possible amino acids from
the ligand binding pocket) ?
I've forced with the problem of the interpretation of the hbmap. As I
understood that could be used for the monitoring of the h-bond occurring
and breaking between protein and ligand during MD run. How it could be
visualize to observe particular amino-acids on the first (protein) group
which contribute to H-bonds ?
