LIGPLOT

LIGPLOT is a computational tool used in molecular modeling and bioinformatics to visualize and analyze protein-ligand interactions. It generates 2D representations of protein-ligand complexes, highlighting the interactions between the ligand (often a small molecule or drug candidate) and the surrounding amino acids in the protein structure. The tool typically shows key interactions such as hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic contacts, and ionic interactions, making it easier for researchers to understand how ligands bind to their target proteins.
