The ability to visualize the conserved waters is important and their
surroundings is when exploring conserved water results.
Conserved waters within 6 Angstroms of the PyMOL identified ligands are
displayed. The conserved waters are colored based on their percent
conservation range using the same color scheme as the Percent Conservation
plot. Waters conserved less than 50% are colored light grey, 50-69% are
red, 70-79% are dark red, 80-89% are light blue, 90-99% are medium blue,
and 100% are dark blue. The conserved waters are labeled using their
ranking based on percent conseration.
This function creates two PyMOL script files; one with a
black background and another with a white background. The color of the
pocket residues is changed based on the background. The pocket residues are
colored light-grey for the black background and dark-grey for the white
background. The ligand is assigned the user-defined color for both
representations. Pocket residues -- and associated molecular surface -- are
defined as those within 5 Angstroms of the conserved waters. The depicted
cartoon representation is for residues within 15 Angstroms of the
ligand(s).
The potential hydrogen bonds are depicted between:
conserved waters and ligand: orange dashed line
conserved waters and protein: green dashed line
conserved waters: blue dashed line
