The recipe displays the minimum, maximum, mean, and median heat of the non-zero contacts it finds.

The heat cutoff slider allows you to band any contacts at or above the specified heat. The initial cutoff value is the mean contact heat, which seems to be 1 in the limited testing conducted so far.

The bands created have default length and strength.

If you don't wish to band the contacts, simply click cancel.

The contacts are also listed in the scriptlog in comma-separated value (CSV) format, suitable for import into spreadsheets and such.

This saves a lot of hand folding time !

Thank you for sharing and making this neat and clear recipe.

To further it, it would be nice to see an :
1- Upper threshold for Contacts.
2- Make the bond strength linked to the heat map
3- Only work on certain protein segments at a time

These are my 2 cents.

This version of Contact Cement includes some fixes Bruno Kestemont made in Contact Cement 2.02.

The original version of Contact Cement crashed if all contacts had the same strength. The original version also misreported the median contact heat.

As a banding tool, this version has been made obsolete by recent enhancements to the contact map tool. The contact map tool now allows you to band either all contacts or only empty contacts.

This version of the recipe is still useful, since it prints out a complete list of contacts in comma-delimited (CSV) format. The list can be easily imported into a spreadsheet or another tool for further analysis.

This version is also useful as a simple starting point for more ambitious contact tools.
