Type, ~hbond Press enter	If you want to remove the hydrogen bonds from the structure, On the command line type: The Tilda symbol followed by hbond Press Enter.
Click on Tools menu >> Findclashes/contacts.	There is another feature in the Tools menu under Structure Analysis option. It is Findclashes/contacts. A dialog box opens. This feature identifies non-polar interactions such as Clashes and Contacts.
Slide Number 6 Clashes and Contacts	*Clashes are unfavorable interactions where atoms are too close together. Contacts are all direct interactions: polar and non-polar, favorable and unfavorable (including clashes)
Cursor on the panel. Click on Select menu. Choose FPS from Residue sub-menu. Click on Designate in the Find Clashes/Contacts dialog box.	Let us identify contacts of the FPS residues with all other atoms. Select FPS residue using Select menu. Click on Designate in the Find Clashes/Contacts dialog box.
Point to the number.	It shows 48 atoms designated.
Click the radio button against “all other atoms”.	Click on the radio button against “All other atoms”.
Set the Clash/Contact Parameters to the default Contact. Click on contact button.	Set the Clash/Contact Parameters to default Contact.
Set the Treatment of Clash/Contact Atoms to: Click on Select Draw pseudo-bonds If endpoint atom hidden, show endpoint residue Write information to reply log Turn off any other Treatment option.	Under Treatment of Clash/Contact Atoms, click on the following check boxes. Select Draw pseudo-bonds If endpoint atom hidden And Write information to reply log
Click on Apply option.	Click on OK button. Observe the panel. All the contacts of FPS residues are shown.
Favorites menu >> Reply Log.	Open the Reply Log. Atom-atom contacts are listed here.
