These should include the ligand-protein interfaces already calculated. Or if you look at the GUI and call up contact for one pdb You will get a script like this: ncont XYZIN "/y/people/ccp4/projects/sinRbit/SinR-C_rem-inf-pk-shel-nat_buccaneer3-sym1-coot-3_lsq2.pdb" source "A/*" target "B/*" mindist 0.0 maxdist 5.0 cells OFF END That would give contacts between chains A & B I can see no automatic way of identifying how ligand and protein are labelled in your 600 GTPases though..
