First, we select the protein from a PDB file (1enh.pdb), add hydrogen atoms, and center the molecule at the origin. Then, we calculate the electrostatic potential on a grid and generate the molecular surface of the protein. Finally, we view the molecule in VMD, projecting the electrostatic potential onto the molecular surface.

Visualizing the electrostatic surface potential of a macromolecule:

First, we select the protein from a PDB file (1enh.pdb), add hydrogen atoms, and center the molecule at the origin. Then, we calculate the electrostatic potential on a grid and generate the molecular surface of the protein. Finally, we view the molecule in VMD, projecting the electrostatic potential onto the molecular surface.
