Moorhen Gallery has gone live!
Click on an image and Moorhen will download into your browser the data, model and session files to reproduce the figure - so you can see how it's made.
Get in touch with @lulu_catapano in the other place if you want to make a contribution to the gallery!

Quiz Question!
The glutamic acid side-chain and the LLP ligand from 1ajs fit their density nicely but the contacts on the ligand are unhappy (almost thinking the interaction is a clash). What's going on?/Why is Coot unhappy?

Coot 1.1.12 out soon!

Coot no longer turns your ligand into a molten globule when you use a dictionary with no restraints!
(thanks for the prompt, L.Masso)
