3D Modeling Page

The 3D Modeling page allows users to manipulate structures in 3D. It includes the perception of protein and ligand interactions as well as editing facilities for ligands in the context of the active site.

Badges such as identify molecules, proteins, and other components.

3D Modeling Page Layout

Name	Description
3D Viewer	Displays 3D structures of small molecules and receptors.
The Side Toolbar	Allows users to change mouse map modes, switch to distance measurement mode, change the residue selection model, access tools for, e.g. changing preferences, taking a screenshot, and toggling screen to fullscreen.
Visible Objects List	Displays structures that are currently marked as “active”.
Styling	Allows users to render structures using different color schemes and styles.
Structure Rating	Allows users to rate a structure on a 1 - 5 scale by hovering over the Rating icon next to each structure.
Annotations	Allows users to add an annotation to a structure by hovering over the Notes icon next to each structure.
Structure Editing	Allows users to edit a structure by clicking the Side Arrow next to each structure, then selecting the Pencil icon.
Binding Site View	Allows users to generate a binding site view of a selected receptor using a cocrystallized ligand as the site marker.

Hint

Selected objects are listed in the Visible Objects sublist at the top of the parent Active Objects list. Selecting any or all objects from this list places them in the Selected bucket list.
