We will rotate and locate the ligand pocket.

As you notice here, most of the ligand binding pocket is hydrophobic.

Click on the Viewing Controls in the Tools menu.

Select Side View from the drop down.

The interior of the binding pocket can be viewed using the Viewing Controls in the Tools menu.

Select Side View from the drop down.

In the Viewing window,Check the check box for Clip at the bottom left.

Surface Capping window opens.

Check the box for cap surfaces at clip planes and use cap color and cap style.


Click on the color box next to use cap color to select the color of the cap.

I will select pink.


Close the color editor.

I will select cap style as solid.


Click on Close button to close the surface capping window.

Change the position of the viewing eye and clipping planes. We can change the position of the viewing eye and clipping planes.

Now we can view the interior of the binding pocket clearly.

You can see clearly that the ligand is attached to the hydrophobic pocket.

Slide Number 11


Conclusion of the Analysis

Conclusion of the Analysis


The ligand is interacting mostly with the hydrophobic residues inside the binding pocket.

We found many non bonding interactions with the hydrophobic residues.

Slide Number 12


Conclusion of the Analysis

Only a few hydrogen bonds are expected.

We observed only two hydrogen bonds using the Structure Analysis tool.

Cursor on the panel. More hydrophobic groups on the indazole will increase the interaction and binding with the active site.

We can generate and analyze more conformers to understand the interactions better.


This brings us to the end of this tutorial.
