Using the 3D Ligand Editor - what do the green colored values on each atom in the ligand represent?
Good ligand-receptor interactions are highlighted by green spheres and low values. Poor energy interactions are displayed as orange-->red stars - red being a major clash and a very poor energy contribution. Each atom is given an energy value relating to its contribution to the total receptor-ligand interaction energy. Low values colored green are considered favorable. The green values on each atom are per-atom contribution to the total energy in the receptor grid ('show energy atom' command). The score/energy can not be partitioned into per-atomic contributions because several terms/contributions are not pairwise (in particular solvation-related, as well as the strain). However, grid-based approximate interaction energy is calculated per-atom and reflects, to an extent, favorable/unfavorable contributions from things like van der waals, hydrogen bonds, coulomb part of electrostatics and some approximation of lipophilicity.
