Ligplot

Used in biochemistry courses to teach non-covalent interactions and drug-receptor binding concepts.

LigPlot is a widely used bioinformatics software tool that automatically generates schematic 2-D diagrams of protein-ligand interactions. It is an essential utility in structure-based drug discovery, allowing researchers to visualize complex 3D molecular data in a clear, flattened format to identify critical binding patterns like hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic contacts.
