Nice rendering of Protein Ligand interactions

PURPOSE: The script will identify all “ligands” using the Get ligand command. A ligand is defined as a chain that does not contain amino acids, nucleic acid or water, but does contain a carbon atom. Or a molecule that does not contain chains but does contain a carbon atom.

The carbon atoms of these ligands will be displayed in Blue, the protein as a grey ribbon and all the side chain that are interacting with the ligand(s) will be labelled with their name and numbering and displayed as Ball and Stick.

USAGE: From the DS Client: From the Files Explorer, double-click on the NiceComplex.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.

From a MS Windows command prompt: Type "\\bin\\perl.bat" NiceComplex.pl
