Complementarity plot
open-in-new
<p>The complementarity plot (CP) is a graphical tool for structural validation of atomic models for both folded <a href="/facts/Globular_protein/PBlAMbBP">globular proteins</a> and <a href="/facts/Protein-protein_interface/etvm9Wmg">protein-protein interfaces</a>. It is based on a probabilistic representation of preferred <a href="/facts/Amino_acid/WDxYwBny">amino acid</a> side-chain orientation, analogous to the preferred backbone orientation of <a href="/facts/Ramachandran_plot/0KVStzpJ">Ramachandran plots</a>). It can potentially serve to elucidate <a href="/facts/Protein_folding/rf3nR2Y1">protein folding</a> as well as binding. The upgraded versions of the software suite is available and maintained in <i>github</i> for both folded globular proteins as well as inter-protein complexes. The software is included in the bioinformatic tool suites OmicTools and Delphi tools. </p>
