Gain of Function: Coot and Moorhen updates.

Imagen3 generated image - the prompt was something like "give me a cartoon coot with its claw reaching out and touching a cartoon representation of a protein" - I added the screenshot after that.

Moorhen Gallery has gone live! Click on an image and Moorhen will download into your browser the data, model and session files to reproduce the figure - so you can see how it's made. Get in touch with @lulu_catapano in the other place if you want to make a contribution to the gallery!

Quiz Question! The glutamic acid side-chain and the LLP ligand from 1ajs fit their density nicely but the contacts on the ligand are unhappy (almost thinking the interaction is a clash). What's going on?/Why is Coot unhappy?
