Step 3B / 3B_NETWORX.py
Interaction Network Rendering
Builds ligand-centered interaction diagrams that connect chemically drawn ligand atoms to nearby residues and interaction classes.
Why this step matters
Contact tables are powerful, but medicinal chemists often need a visual map that shows which residues matter and how they relate to the ligand scaffold.
Concepts to understand
NETWORX ligand-residue panels
residue contact filtering
interaction-type-specific edges
expanded clean figures for presentations
combined network PDFs
