The Metal Geometry tool facilitates analysis of metal-binding sites. It lists potential metal-coordinating atoms (nearby nucleophilic heteroatoms) and suggests likely coordination geometries. An idealized geometry can be depicted with solid arrows, as shown in the figure for the octahedral coordination of Mn⁺⁺ by six atoms, and the coordination pseudobonds in the structure can be updated to match the chosen geometry.

The image shows the structure of the human OX2 orexin receptor bound to the insomnia drug suvorexant, Protein Data Bank entry 4s0v. The drug is shown as spheres colored by element, and the receptor as ribbons with secondary structure elements rainbow-colored from blue at the N-terminus to red at the C-terminus. (More samples...)
