Dear Perrakis: What I want to know is that in common protein strucuture articles, what is the van der Waals contact limit distance. I found some important contact in my strcuture, but the distance is about 3.5-4 angstrom. I am not so sure that if this is still within the distance limit of van der Waals contact. I have found some article mentioned van der Waals contact in their structure, but with none mention the distance limit they used. So I need a accurite number to define van der Waals contact.
Thank you very much. On 1/16/07, Anastassis Perrakis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
