Hi, I was asked the following question and couldn't find the answer, can anyone help?
"When I mutate a buried small amino acid side-chain to a larger one, it correctly reveals some clashes around that new side-chain. I suppose the disk shaped clusters mean clashes. Can someone please confirm this? I was wondering what the colour of the disk shapes mean (red, green - do they refer to atom type?), and does the variable size of the disk mean anything?"
