IMAAAGINE – Search Hypothetical 3D Protein Arrangement in Protein Data Bank

IMAAAGINE

:: DESCRIPTION

The IMAAAGINE (IMagine An Amino Acid 3D pattern search enGINE) program allows users to search for hypothetical amino acid 3D arrangement query to be searched against the PDB. Users design their own motif with specific residue types and distances between residues, with a flexible distance tolerance.

TeraStitcher v1.10.18 – 3D Stitching tool designed for Teravoxel-sized microscopy images

TeraStitcher v1.10.18

:: DESCRIPTION

TeraStitcher is a free tool that enables the stitching of Teravoxel-sized tiled microscopy images even on workstations with relatively limited resources of memory (< 8 GB) and processing power. It exploits the knowledge of approximate tile positions and uses ad-hoc strategies and algorithms designed for such very large datasets. The produced images can be saved into a multiresolution representation to be efficiently retrieved and processed.

RNA2D3D 5.7.0 – Conversion of RNA 2D Structures to 3D and 3D Modeling

RNA2D3D 5.7.0

:: DESCRIPTION

RNA2D3D accepts the primary RNA sequence information and a secondary structure representation for the sequence, which may include pseudoknots (Martinez et al. 2008). It rapidly generates a first-pass, three-dimensional model from the secondary structure. Further refinements of the models are usually necessary, but in many cases the first pass model will give significant insights as to how to proceed. Because of its speed and because of the flexibility of its structure editing tools, RNA2D3D can be used to quickly explore alternative 3D conformations in an interactive fashion (Note that it is not a de novo 3D structure prediction program.).

CompuCell3D 4.2.5 – 3D Multiscale Multi-cell Simulations

CompuCell3D 4.2.5

:: DESCRIPTION

CompuCell3D (CC3D) runs 3D multiscale multi-cell simulations, integrating the GGH model , PDE solvers (reaction-diffusion), and cell type automata (differentiation). CompuCell3D runs in parallel with the CompuCellPlayer visualization engine.

CompuCell3D was originally written to model morphogenesis, the process in embryonic development where cells cluster into patterns which eventually differentiate into organs, muscle or bone. Through integration of multiple mathematical models into a software implementation with easy to use XML based syntax scientists were able to build models within few hours as opposed to weeks when writing source code from scratch. compuCell3D is based on Glazier-graner-Hogeweg model (GGH) also known as the Cellular Potts Model (CPM).The model is capable of capturing key cellular behaviors: cell clustering as well as growth, division, death, intracellular adhesion, and volume and surface area constraints;
