Nanome 1.16 - The Clash Update

Aug 29, 2018

Nanome

The Future of Molecular Design - From drug discovery to chemistry class, Nanome is a powerful tool for research and education. Visualize, build, and simulate chemical compounds, proteins, and nucleic acids like never before. Collaborate remotely in real-time.

With our first update of the new year and the new decade, we're excited to bring you some new and updated features to improve your experience in Nanome. [b]Clashes Visualization[/b] This newly added atom contact computation allows you to visibly see clashes between atoms and molecules. From the Modify Menu, click on the Compute tab, and then “Calculate Clashes”. In both the Calculate Clashes settings menu and the MedChem tool, users can enable clashes to run continuously in order to get live feedback when interacting with a structure. You can also change the Overlap Tolerance for clashes.

Additionally, you also have the ability to perform pairwise sequence alignments from this menu. The Sequence Menu also communicates with the selected structure, so you can highlight specific residues directly from the menu.

Simply toggle the visibility in the Hierarchy Menu.

When a Quest user joins a room the indicator appears over your Entry Menu. From there, you can understand how close you are getting to the Oculus Quest’s rendering limit and can adjust accordingly. [b]Other Updates[/b] You can now view the Solvent Accessible Surface with a new numerical surface computation in the Action Menu. Go to “Display/Styles”, then “Surface Style”, and finally “Show SAS”.

Select your structure with any maps such as Electron Density Maps, then head over to the Modify Menu, and under the “Edit” tab click on “Combine”.
