YASARA (Yet Another Scientific Artificial Reality Application)is a molecular-graphics, -modeling and -simulation program.With an intuitive user interface, photorealistic graphics and support for affordable shutter glasses, autostereoscopic displays and input devices, YASARA creates a new level of interaction with the ‘artificial reality’, that allows you to focus on your goal and forget about the details of the program.
YASARA View is available for free and contains the basic functions you need to explore a macromolecular structure interactively, comparable to other molecule viewers.
YASARA Model contains YASARA View and adds all the functions you need to explore, analyze and model small and macromolecules in a production environment. This includes many features you often miss: unlimited undo/redo, macro recorder, quad-buffered stereo with shutter glasses or the DTI virtual window .
YASARA Dynamics contains YASARA Model and adds support for molecular simulations.
YASARA Structure contains YASARA Dynamics and adds all the functions needed to predict and validate macromolecular structures, including ligand docking and highly accurate force fields with knowledge-based potentials, and an optional module for NMR structure determination.
XtalView is a complete package for solving a macromolecular crystal structure by isomorphous replacement, including building the molecular model. It runs on Sun, DEC, SGI, IBM and PC/Linux computers and takes full advantage of the modern workstation environment. It has a simple but comprehensive windows based interface. The xtalmgr, the main menu drives a suite of crystallographic modules by click of an icon. XtalView maintains log files of the computations done. Standard file formats are used, which facilitates communication between XtalView and programs such as CCP4, X-PLOR, TNT, and MERLOT.
