NEI, NEIGHBORHOOD


NAME
NEI, NEIGHBORHOOD - hide or show the sequence neighborhood.

SYNOPSIS
NEI
NEI OFF
NEIGHBORHOOD
NEIGHBORHOOD OFF

DESCRIPTION
Hide or show the sequence neighborhood of the residue covered by the pointer. When you cross an atom or bond with the mouse pointer, the output window will contain some useful information about this atom. In addition to this, the top portion of the main window will contain the list of the residues before and after the residue to which this atom belongs. The central residue will be enclosed in a small rectangle. The entire sequence neighborhood will be enclosed in a wide rectangle.



If you are not interested in the sequence neighborhood, execute the command:

nei off

If you want to remove the sequence neighborhood permanently, find this section in the configuration file .garlicrc and replace the keyword "yes" by "no":

# Sequence neighborhood of the residue under
# the pointer may be visible or hidden (yes/no):

show sequence neighborhood: yes

By default, the sequence neighborhood will be visible.

KEYWORDS
The only keyword is OFF. If used without any keyword, the command NEI will make the sequence neighborhood visible. If combined with the keyword OFF, the command will hide the sequence neighborhood.

EXAMPLES
COMMAND DESCRIPTION
nei off Hide the sequence neighborhood.
nei Show the sequence neighborhood.

NOTES
(1) Residues in the sequence neighborhood are listed in direction from amino- to carboxyl-terminal residue.

(2) If the current residue is close to the polypeptide chain end, it will be displaced from the central position.
