Analysis of protein-protein interaction interface in pymol
Preprocess
Save the code as 'InterfaceResidues.py', then put it into your pymol Working Directory.
Detailed procedure
File->Run Script...
, selected the 'InterfaceResidues.py' file.- Load the model, color the model by chain.
- Remove waters in the model if waters do not influence the interface.
- Run
get_chains $objSel
in command line to get the chains in the model. - Run
interfaceResidue $objSel, chain $A, chain $B
in command line to get the residues in the interface, the residues will be saved in the new generated object '(interface)', rename the object before run the command to get the residues in other interface. - Analysis the polar contacts:
