Our first step is to display the binding pocket property surface, ligand and receptor hydrogen bonds, and atomic energy circles. To do this click on the buttons highlighted below.

About Hydrogen Bonds: The coloring of the H-bonds are red (strong - thick spheres) to blue (weak - thin spheres).

About the Property Surface: White=neutral surface Green=hydrophobic surface Red=hydrogen bonding acceptor potential Blue=hydrogen bond donor potential

About the Atomic Energy Rings: Good ligand-receptor interactions are highlighted by green spheres. Poor energy interactions are displayed as orange-->red stars - red being a major clash and a very poor energy contribution. Each stom is given an energy value relating to its contribution to the total receptor-ligand interaction energy. Low values colored green are considered favorable.
