Hot-Spots

This parameter indicates the existence of hydrophobic patches (9) at the surfaces of proteins.


Placing the cursor above this element: pop-up area will show the position (sequence number and amino acid three letter code) for selected amino acid and the Hot Spot number and area at the surface occupied by this hydrophobic patch to which a given amino acid belongs.
Left mouse click: no action
Right mouse click: on any of the "Hot-Spots" will generate following menu and actions:

A) By pressing STING it option, a user will obtain additional information and request to select if only a single Hot Spot of that particular chain should be displayed. By accepting the option to display only a single patch will induce the Chime window to show 3D position of the selected Hot Spot patch in green CPK.



B) By pressing STING it option, a user will obtain additional information and request to select if only a single Hot Spot of that particular chain should be displayed or all hydrophobic patches should be simultaneously displayed. By accepting the option to display all hydrophobic patches at the surface of this particular chain, will induce the Chime window to show 3D position of all Hot Spots patches in green CPK.




C) By pressing Hot Spots Atom List option, a user will obtain additional information and request to select if only a single Hot Spot Atom List of that particular chain should be displayed. By accepting the option to display only a single patch Atom List will induce that the BLUE STAR STING JPD will show HTML table with the Atom List of the selected Hot Spot patch.




D) By pressing Hot Spots Atom List option, a user will obtain additional information and request to select if only a single or all present Hot Spot Atom List of that particular chain should be displayed. By accepting the option to display all Hot spots Atom List will induce that the BLUE STAR STING JPD will show HTML table with the Atom List of the all Hot Spots patches of this chain.




E) This option is only another alternative to the one described under A) above. A user can actually select desired Hot Spots which he/she desires to see in 3D.




F) This option is only another alternative to the one described under B) above. A user can actually select desired Hot Spots which he/she desires to see in 3D.
