THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.Documented on September 2, 2022. Software that is an open-source distribution of a new method for constructing compact statistical point-based models of ensembles of similar shapes that does not rely on any specific surface parameterization. The method requires very little preprocessing or parameter tuning, and is applicable to a wide range of shape analysis problems, including nonmanifold surfaces and objects of arbitrary topology. The proposed correspondence point optimization uses an entropy-based minimization that balances the simplicity of the model (compactness) with the accuracy of the surface representations. The ShapeWorks software includes tools for preprocessing data, computing point-based shape models, and visualizing the results.

http://drugdesigndata.org

Project portal's database of protein-ligand data sets provided by pharmaceutical partners that provide atomic details of drug mechanisms that will be used to improve computer-aided drug-design methods and thus accelerate drug discovery. The project aims to help companies release the high-quality data they have generated, which has incredible value to researchers working to improve methods of computer-aided drug discovery. Everyone stands to benefit from the ability to develop new medications more quickly and inexpensively. What computational chemists globally are trying to do is to make faster, more accurate, more predictive programs to speed up the process. Part of their mission is to engage the community in these challenges to test newly developed predictive algorithms.

http://molprobity.biochem.duke.edu

A structure-validation web application which provides an expert-system consultation about the accuracy of a macromolecular structure model, diagnosing local problems and enabling their correction. MolProbity works best as an active validation tool (used as soon as a model is available and during each rebuild/refine loop) and when used for protein and RNA crystal structures, but it may also work well for DNA, ligands and NMR ensembles. It produces coordinates, graphics, and numerical evaluations that integrate with either manual or automated use in systems such as PHENIX, KiNG, or Coot.
