binding-site-visualization

What problem does it solve?

Researchers need to visualize and interpret protein-ligand binding sites, pockets, and interactions to design inhibitors, understand mechanisms, and communicate results in publications.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Visualize protein cartoon representations, ligands as sticks, pockets as surfaces, and highlight interactions to support interpretation.
• Define ligand and pocket selections using common PyMOL patterns, quantify contacts and hydrogen bonds, and generate annotated figures.
• Use cases include preparing publication-ready figures, validating binding-pocket hypotheses, and exploring structure-activity relationships.

Quick Start

Load a protein structure, identify the ligand and pocket, apply a visualization style, and export a publication-ready image.
