PELIKAN
Overview
PELIKAN is a software tool that enables rapidly searching spatial interaction patterns in large collections of protein-ligand complexes. Data from protein-ligand complexes is stored in an SQLite database for different search processes.
The PELIKAN software package comes with a graphical user interface, providing dialogs to build SQLite databases from any set of protein-ligand complexes and allowing for conveniently constructing 3D queries starting from a protein-ligand interface of interest or designing from scratch. The results of a search are shown in a 3D viewer.
