Cornell Theory Center : Computational Biology Tools Software Release

     The Cornell Theory Center and the National Center of Research
 Resources for Computational Biology Tools announces a new software release
 >from the groups of Ron Elber and Harold Scheraga available at:
 http://www.tc.cornell.edu/reports/NIH/resource/CompBiologyTools
     The new release includes new software, bug fixes, graphic user
 interface and on line help (for MOIL), implementation of serial and
 parallel Window systems, and more.
     In brief, we now offer programs to study the following: Protein
 folding (PROTRACT, ANALYZE, ECCPAK), Protein Energetics (PROTARCH,
 ECCEPAK, MOIL) structure determination (CRYSTALG, LOOPP), and protein
 dynamics (MOIL) A server is provided that suggests protein families from
 sequence based on the program LOOPP:

 We have also included a gallery of movies of proteins in action for your
 entertainment! :

 In addition to the release of the new software, we collect at present
 responses from users of the previous releases. We shall greatly appreciate
 pointers to manuscripts that uses any of the software packages that we
 offer, suggestions for future improvements, complaints, and compliments.
 We are considering the set-up of a news group and mailing list. Please
 indicate if you will be interested in using such a list. Please direct
 your responses to ron ^at^ cs.cornell.edu.
 We are also planning a workshop at November 16 and 17, 2000. The workshop
 will focus on the applications of the tools we distribute for Windows. The
 workshop attendance fee is $100. If interested, please e-mail to
 ron ^at^ cs.cornell.edu indicating that you wish to receive furtherinformation
 on the workshop for Computational Biology Tools. We will provide
 update on the status of the workshop in a few weeks. Cornell Theory Center
