Nucplot Description

A program to generate schematic diagrams of

protein-nucleic acid interactions


NUCPLOT is a program that automatically generates schematic 2D representations of protein-nucleic acid interactions. The input is a standard PDB file and the output is a colour or black-and-white PostScript file which gives a simple, at-a-glance representation of the hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic contacts between proteins and nucleic acids.

To use nucplot in the CSB core, type the following:
setup nucplot
(or source /srv/local/setup/nucplot.set)

The online manual explains what the program can do


The publication of research using the Software must reference "Luscombe N M, Laskowski R A, Thornton J M (1997) NUCPLOT: a program to generate schematic diagrams of protein-nucleic acid interactions. Nucleic Acids Research, 25, 4940-4945."
