Non-Bonded Interactions Panel

Summary

This panel is used for displaying H-bond, halogen bond, contact, and pi interaction markers, and set the colors for the markers.

Opening the Non-Bonded Interactions Panel

To open the Non-Bonded Interactions panel, you can:

Using the Non-Bonded Interactions Panel

Non-Bonded Interactions Panel Features

The panel has three sections, for the three different kinds of non-bonded interactions. Each section has the same layout and types of controls.

Display options

The display options control which interaction types are displayed in the Workspace. The overall Display option in each section can be used to turn on and off all interaction markers of that type. The individual options can be used to control which specific interactions are shown.

The display options are also available from the HBonds button, Contacts button, and Pi button on the Measurements toolbar, and in the Pose Viewer panel. Changing an option in any of these places changes it in all of them.

Color buttons

These buttons allow you to set the color of the marker for each specific interaction. Clicking the button opens a standard color selector in which you can set the color. The chosen color is displayed on the color button.

Interacting atom set option menu

This option menu allows you to choose the atom sets for which the interactions are displayed:

Create Property button

Click this button to add properties to the selected entries in the Project Table. Opens a dialog box in which you can select the interaction types for which to calculate the properties. The property created for each interaction is the number of interactions that exist between the sets of interacting atoms. If the property already exists, it is updated. Properties for all interactions of the selected types are created (not just the ones that are displayed).

Preferences button

Set up the criteria used to find interactions of each type. Opens the Preferences panel at the Non-bonded interactions – Criteria section.
