Software in dotazione presso il laboratorio
Il laboratorio dispone di un'ampia varietà di software di modellazione molecolare. Di seguito è riportato un elenco dei programmi con una breve descrizione. Per informazioni dettagliate, visitare il link di ogni singolo programma.
|
AMBER - AMBER, by David Case at The Scripps Research Insititute and collaborators, is the collective name for a suite of programs that allow users to carry out molecular dynamics simulations, particularly on biomolecules. http://ambermd.org/
|
Gaussian 09 (G09) - A suite of programs to perform semi-empirical and ab initio molecular orbital calculations on Linux/UNIX based machines (CINECA-ISCRA). http://www.gaussian.com/
|
Insight II - A relatively user-friendly graphical molecular modelling program developed by Accelrys Inc., that incorporates a variety of useful molecular modelling codes specifically designed for biological systems, including metal containing systems. (Will not be supported after June 2009, IRIX and Linux) http://accelrys.com/
|
UCSF Chimera is a highly extensible program for interactive visualization and analysis of molecular structures and related data, including density maps, supramolecular assemblies, sequence alignments, docking results, trajectories, and conformational ensembles. http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/
|
Swiss-PdbViewer (DeepView) is an application that provides a user friendly interface allowing to analyze several proteins at the same time. The proteins can be superimposed in order to deduce structural alignments and compare their active sites or any other relevant parts. Amino acid mutations, H-bonds, angles and distances between atoms are easy to obtain thanks to the intuitive graphic and menu interface. http://spdbv.vital-it.ch/
|
Autodock- MGLTools: AutoDock is a suite of automated docking tools. It is designed to predict how small molecules, such as substrates or drug candidates, bind to a receptor of known 3D structure. http://autodock.scripps.edu/
|
GROMACS- versatile package to perform molecular dynamics, i.e. simulate the Newtonian equations of motion for systems with hundreds to millions of particles. It is primarily designed for biochemical molecules like proteins and lipids that have a lot of complicated bonded interactions, but since GROMACS is extremely fast at calculating the nonbonded interactions (that usually dominate simulations) many groups are also using it for research on non-biological systems, e.g. polymers. http://www.gromacs.org/
|
VMD/NAMD: NAMD, recipient of a 2002 Gordon Bell Award, is a parallel molecular dynamics code designed for high-performance simulation of large biomolecular systems. Based on Charm++ parallel objects, NAMD scales to hundreds of processors on high-end parallel platforms and tens of processors on commodity clusters using gigabit ethernet. NAMD uses the popular molecular graphics program VMD for simulation setup and trajectory analysis, but is also file-compatible with AMBER, CHARMM, and X-PLOR. NAMD is distributed free of charge with source code. http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/

MODELLER is used for homology or comparative modeling of protein three-dimensional structures. http://salilab.org/modeller/
