Metals are essential for the structure and function of many proteins and nucleic acids. The geometric arrangement of the atoms that coordinate a metal in a biological macromolecule is an important determinant of the specificity and role of that metal. FindGeo quickly finds and determines the coordination geometry of selected, or all, metals in a given structure.
