Silicon Graphics workstation with Stereo vision running Accelrys Insight II a graphical modeling and simulation environment and a host of many public domain utilities and programs.
Some examples are: BioPolymer, Discover, Homology, Delphi, CSD, and GRASP
- Following modules under Insight II are available:
BioPolymer: constructs models of peptides, proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids for visualizing complex macromolecular structures. Discover: incorporates a range of well validated force fields for dynamics simulations, energy minimization, and conformational searches, allowing users to predict the structure, energetic and properties of organic, inorganic, organometallic, and biological systems.
Homology: builds 3D models of proteins from its amino acid sequence and the known structure of related proteins. Includes standard techniques of backbone building, loop modeling, structural overlay and statistical analysis. Delphi: calculates electrostatic potentials and solvation energies of both large and small molecules, including nucleic acids. DelPhi is used to rigorously examine the effects of charge distribution, ionic strength, and dielectric constant on the electrostatic potentials of macromolecules. - O and Ribbon: general macromolecular modeling programs to visualize the folds and secondary structure of proteins.
- GRASP: displays and manipulates molecular surfaces and their electrostatic properties, molecular visualization and analysis.
- RASMOL: A program for displaying molecular structures.
- MOLSCRIPT: A program for displaying molecular 3D structures, such as proteins, in both schematic and detailed representations.
- BOBSCRIPT: A drawing tool suite for molecular modelling.
- Spock : A full-featured molecular graphics program.
- CSD: The Cambridge Structural Database using CS.
- Cn3D: Cn3D is a helper application for your web browser that allows you to view 3-dimensional structures from NCBI's Entrez retrieval service.
- Swiss-PdbViewer: Swiss-PdbViewer is an application that provides a user friendly interface allowing to analyze several proteins at the same time.
