What I've done before is to draw a line between two pseudo-atoms placed at the center of each ring.

I think the major concern is how Pymol depicts the pi-pi stacking.... Of course we can identify such interaction immediately as soon as we open the system in Pymol.

However there is no any components to indicate this, eg: we can depict the H-bond with a dash between two atoms but how could pi-pi interaction be depicted?

Hi Amali,

I am not aware that PyMOL has this feature implemented out-of-the-box. Nevertheless this can be done with PyMOL. A crude approximation will be to measure the distance between the center of aromatic rings and consider a pi-pi stacking for distances shorter than a threshold value. A better model will probably include a distance threshold and one or two angles in the definition.

Are you trying to estimate pi-pi stacking interactions in general or for a particular system?

Cheers,
Osvaldo.
