Analysing an Active Site
In this example, we will look at the active site of the
lactate dehydrogenase (pdb entry 1ldm).
Step by Step
- First of all, open the pdb file 1LDM (it is included in the tutorial
package).
- Select the "Compute H-bonds" item of the "Tools" menu.
- Click on the control panel window, scroll to the bottom (or hit the
page down key), and select the groups "NAD1" and "OXM2". They should
become red in the control panel. If they don't, it is a good idea to
read the "Control Panel Selection" section).
- Now, choose the item "Show Only H-bonds from selection" of the "Display
Menu". Then choose the item "Show only groups with visible H-bond" of
the same menu. Finally hit the "=" key of the numerical keypad (right
mouse button for PC) to rescale and recenter the view.
At this stage, you should be in this situation.
- Now you can measure distances using the tools located at the top of
the display window, or show the H-bonds distances with the appropriate
item of the "Display" menu.
