Mol* ("MolStar") is a molecular visualization program that can be used to import, visualize, and align multiple structures from the Protein Data Bank (PDB). It is the main 3D visualization program used at http://RCSB.org.
Examining covalent and non-covalent interactions in the vicinity of a specific residue or ligand can provide insights about how it is stabilized and/or can play a role in the molecule’s function. There are multiple ways in which you can display these interactions.
This video demonstrates how to use Mol* to create an image of neuraminidase inhibited by Zanamivir (PDB structure 3ckz) from H5N1 in the same style as used in “Figure 4B: Exploring covalent and non-covalent interactions in the vicinity of the bound drug.” of
