Hi James -

You could put in a feature 
request<http://sourceforge.net/p/pymol/feature-requests/> to ask that 
non-canonical residues be included in the preset.

In the meantime, the Property 
Selectors<http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Property_Selectors>, Single-Word 
Selectors<http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Single-word_Selectors>, and 
Selection Algebra<http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Selection_algebra> 
operators and are going to be your friends here.  For dashes, use the 
distance<http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Distance> command.

For example, the following lines will show your ligand(s) as sticks and 
residues with any atom near the ligand as lines, and draw dashes for the polar 
contacts between them:

###

select ligand, organic
as sticks, ligand

select binding_site, br. all within 4 of ligand
show lines, binding_site
as nb_spheres, binding_site and solvent

distance ligand_polar_conts, binding_site, ligand, cutoff=3.5, mode=2

###

Using combinations of these selectors, you can come very close to re-creating 
whichever preset you wanted to use.  Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Jared

Dear Pymol users!

Typically when I'm looking at the ligand binding sites (present->show of the 
receptor-ligand.pdb complexes all receptors non-canonical residues or the 
different titrable forms of the standard ones (e.g HIP-protonated HIS or ASH- 
protonated ASN) are recognized as the ligands as well and pymol try to find 
hydrogen bonds or vdv contacts of these residues with its surroundings. How I 
could prevent it to see only on the ligand surrounding within such pdbs? What 
another pymol options will be useful for the ligand sites visualization?


Thanks for help,

James
