Abstract

The software Coot is an on-going project to provide graphical tools to assist with the fitting of protein and ligands to X-ray data. Presented here are tools that manipulate side-chain rotamers and main-chain geometry. In addition, ligand tools that interact with CCP4 software and libraries are discussed.
