fully automated protein-ligand interaction profiler

The Protein-Ligand Interaction Profiler (PLIP) is a tool to analyze and visualize protein-ligand interactions in PDB files. Features include: * Detection of eight different types of noncovalent interactions * Automatic detection of relevant ligands in a PDB file * Direct download of PDB structures from wwPDB server if valid PDB ID is given * Processing of custom PDB files containing protein-ligand complexes (e.g. from docking) * No need for special preparation of a PDB file, works out of the box * Atom-level interaction reports in rST and XML formats for easy parsing * Generation of PyMOL session files (.pse) for each pairing, enabling easy preparation of images for publications and talks * Rendering of preview image for each ligand and its interactions with the protein
