PURPOSE: Highlight/display the interface hydrogen bond residues in a multi-chain protein complex. Given a protein complex molecule with at least one chain selected in the active 3D Window, this script creates the interface hydrogen bond monitors between the selected chain(s) and the rest of the protein complex. The protein display style is set to ribbon and only the residues involved in the interface hydrogen bonds are displayed in styleAtomLine. These residues are defined as a group called Interface_HB_res.

INSTALLATION: Save this file to a local directory or location accessible from the Files Explorer of Discovery Studio.

USAGE: From DS Client: Open a molecule file containing a multi-chain protein complex molecule and click to select one or more chains from the Hierarchy view. From the Files Explorer, double-click on the show_interface_HB_res.pl to launch the script or right-click on the file and select Open With > Script Window then launch the script using the Run command from the Scripting toolbar.

REQUIREMENTS: Before running this script, One or more chains of the protein molecule must be selected in the last active 3D Window.
