Greetings, The colors you see are based on the energies presented when compared to the best energy of the calculations. There are only 6 colors shown. Yellow, red, magenta, blue, cyan, green. The sphere size match the colors, so there is not a small yellow and a large yellow. To your question on specializing in graphics, that would be me. -Uplinger Is the small yellow indicative of the lowest level of binding energy, with the green indicating the highest level of binding energy? Also, why don't we see the ligand itself? It's a bit strange to see all these binding points to a molecule which is itself invisible! |

Hi Papa3,
It's a bit strange to see all these binding points to a molecule which is itself invisible! Yes, but it would take a lot of graphics computation to show all the different ligands in different positions. That would amount to a fair percentage of the work we do to move the ligand around, trying to dock it. We save a lot of crunching by just showing the target and the docking points. Lawrence |
