New features

• A new function, OERenderContactMap, has been added that generates interactive SVG images. Clicking on any residue circle will highlight those ligand atoms that interact with the given residue.

Preliminary API

• A new Preliminary API has been added to mark up the residue circles in SVG images generated by the OERenderActiveSite function:

  • OE2DActiveSiteDisplayOptions.SetResidueSVGMarkupFunctor and OE2DActiveSiteDisplayOptions.GetResidueSVGMarkupFunctor methods

  • OEResidueSVGMarkupBase base class and OEResidueSVGNoMarkup and OEResidueSVGStandardMarkup concrete classes

Major bug fixes

• Several problems in the OERenderActiveSite function have been fixed:

  • When depicting protein-ligand interactions, grey lines represent the shape of the binding pocket. The absence of lines indicates solvent-accessible regions. In order visualize the solvent-accessible areas more realistically, waters are now ignored when calculating the molecule surfaces that determine the 2D representation (compare images below).

  • The rare case where the ligand is completely surrounded by water is now handled correctly.

  • The following heuristics are now used to improve the positioning of residue glyphs around the ligand:

    • Waters are more likely to be positioned in solvent-exposed regions.

    • Other residues are only positioned in solvent-exposed regions if it results in a more visually pleasing layout.

Minor bug fixes

• OEDrawPeptide has been fixed and now allows only amide and disulfide bonds when identifying standard amino acids. No alpha-carbon substitutions are allowed.

Documentation changes

• A new Python Cookbook Examples section has been added.
