Software Updates

GetContacts

a tool designed to dissect and visualize molecular interactions in proteins from various sources, including experimental structures (X-ray, NMR, Cryo-EM) and MD simulations.

ChimeraX

a tool of the next-generation molecular visualization program from the Resource for Biocomputing, Visualization, and Informatics (RBVI), following UCSF Chimera. Compared to Chimera, ChimeraX has improved graphics (e.g. interactive ambient shadows); faster handling of large structures (millions of atoms); and a more modern, single-window user interface.

MODELLER

a tool used for homology or comparative modeling of protein three-dimensional structures.

ChimeraX

a tool of the next-generation molecular visualization program from the Resource for Biocomputing, Visualization, and Informatics (RBVI), following UCSF Chimera. Compared to Chimera, ChimeraX has improved graphics (e.g. interactive ambient shadows); faster handling of large structures (millions of atoms); and a more modern, single-window user interface.

a set of comprehensive facilities for Fourier processing of spectra in one to four dimensions, as well as a variety of facilities for spectral display and analysis. This is the official NMRScience version of NMRPipe.

AreTomo3

a multi-GPU accelerated software package that enables real-time fully automated reconstruction of cryoET tomograms in parallel with cryoET data collection.

PyEM

a set of Python modules and command-line utilities for electron microscopy of biological samples.

an open-source model which predicts the 3D structure of proteins, rna, dna and small molecules; it handles modified residues, covalent ligands and glycans, as well as condition the generation on pocket residues.

LocScale

is an automated tool for physics-informed cryo-EM map optimisation (sharpening/density modification), improving interpretability using electron scattering properties derived from the map or an atomic model.

SPIDER

(System for Processing Image Data from Electron microscopy and Related fields) a large image processing suite for electron microscopy.
