InteractionDrawer

InteractionDrawer is a JavaScript library for the fully automatic drawing of highly interactive 2D ligand interaction diagrams. Calculated interactions (hydrogen bonds, cation-pi interactions, pi-stackings, ionic interactions, and metal interactions) of the ligand with nucleic acids, amino acids, and metals are depicted as colored dashed lines. Hydrophobic contacts are visualized by labeled green splines. A web application based on this library can be found at https://proteins.plus/ (PoseEdit).
