About Coot

Coot is a powerful macromolecular model-building tool for analysing X-ray data and models (i.e.
proteins, ligands, RNA and DNA). There are many tools for model manipulation and building, such
as minimization, molecular superposition, fragment rotation/translations, rotamer-fitting, de novo
building and refinement.

Coot is used by scientists using X-ray crystallography or cryo-EM for analysis of proteins,
electron density maps, protein interactions and drug design.

Release info Update on Oct 20, 2026
Release notes o FEATURE: Protein-ligand interactions: detection and reporting of
pi-stacking halogen bonds, and hydrogen bonds.

o FEATURE: Read SHELX-style small-molecule cif files (from COD say)
and make maps from the embedded reflection data.

o FEATURE: Read Gaussian/ORCA cube files.

o FEATURE: AutoDock Vina: receptor and ligand preparation and
execution scripts, with flexible-receptor support.

o FEATURE: Bendix-style helices and tube representations

o FEATURE: Servalcat: X-ray refinement with user keywords and
ligand dictionaries, with refinement tracking graphs

o FEATURE: pyrogen: AceDRG bond and angle values from (optional)
SQLite AceDRG tables, with idealization of the ligand
coordinates against the generated dictionary

o FEATURE: Superpose Ligands from range/pair atom picks

o FEATURE: Layla: QED desirability curves; AceDRG input "via
mmCIF" (CCD-style export)

o FEATURE: Chapi/API additions: get_ligand_interactions_as_json(),
get_atom_differences(), add_named_glyco_tree(),
refine_regularize_with_range_picked_atoms(),
set_default_model_material_*(),
set_colour_map_for_map_colored_by_other_map(),
get_non_standard_residues_in_molecule(),
chemical_feature_clustering(),
clear_fixed_atoms_during_refinement();
residue_spec_t is now hashable and comparable.

o FEATURE: New and updated icons, and icons-only / labels-only
styles for the vertical toolbar; Shift-L shortcut

o FEATURE: File -> Open Recent menu. MTZ entries remember their
column choices, so the map reopens without the column
dialog

o FEATURE: If there is a state script, Coot now asks at startup
whether it should be run (--no-state-script or --script
turn this off)

o FEATURE: --cod command-line option to fetch a COD entry

o FEATURE: set_worm_tube_radius(imol, radius)

o CHANGE: Coordinate mmCIF files are now written using GEMMI

o CHANGE: Faster map contouring (marching-cubes vertex
de-duplication replaced by a flat array)

o CHANGE: Default model specularity strength changed to 0.25

o CHANGE: "Untyped"…
