Hello,  
I was following the tutorial at [Protein-ligand docking](https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/topics/computational-chemistry/tutorials/cheminformatics/tutorial.html).  
I am not able to visualize my results as per the tutorial and as per attachment using NGL Viewer.  
Can you please help me?  
regards

Because it seems people are still reading this thread, this is what I wrote to Preenon:

> we created that GIF by combining screenshots from two poses together  
> if you got as far as creating the PDB files for the docked poses, you can click on the `Visualize this data button` on the datasets in your history  
> then you have a choice of visualizations and you can pick NGLviewer

Hi Simon,  
I am learning protein-ligand docking by following the galaxy training with Hsp90 as a model. I successfully obtained a list of docked ligands. However, I cannot visualize the interactions between those ligands and their receptor (Hsp90) by NGL Viewer. I tried to input the docking files to AutoDockTools (Analyze → Dockings → Show Interactions) but failed. It seems to me the output files obtained from Galaxy do not have any information about the interactions. Am I right? Are there any ways to compute the docking on Galaxy to have output files with protein-ligand interactions that can be visualized using AutoDockTools? I look forward to hearing from you.  
Many thanks,  
Trong Tran
