[Chimera-users] finding only ligand-receptor Hbonds instead of all

[Elaine Meng]

Dear Rajlakshmi Chetty,
To limit which H-bonds you are finding, first “select” some atoms like the ligand only, and then use the “Only find H-bonds...” option as shown in the dialog.  You have the option turned on, but you probably didn’t select any atoms first.  For explanation of that option and its further options, click the Help button on the dialog or see the same information here at our website:
<http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/findhbond/findhbond.html>

See also the “If endpoint hidden, show endpoint residue” option.

Selected atoms are shown with green outline.  There are many ways to select, such as  Ctrl-click on one ligand atom and then press keyboard up arrow to increase to all ligand atoms, or with a command, etc. as explained here:

I hope this helps,
Elaine

I tried Tools>structure depiction>find H bond but in that parameters query when i apply I am getting H bond of the whole complex which I don't want. I want to visualize H bond or any bonding between ligand and receptor. Is their any other way or what parameters change i need to do?
