FRODOCK 3.12 – Fast Rotational DOCKing tool

FRODOCK 3.12

:: DESCRIPTION

FRODOCK is able to generates very efficiently many potential predictions of how  two proteins could interact. This approximation effectively address the complexity and sampling requirements of the initial 6D docking exhaustive search by combining the projection of the interaction terms into 3D grid-based potentials with the efficiency of spherical harmonics approximations. The binding energy upon complex formation is approximated as a correlation function composed of van der Waals, electrostatics and desolvation potential terms. This initial stage exhaustive docking obtain excellent accuracy results with standard benchmarks, thus you can use it directly as a first protein-protein rigid-body docking approach.

YASS 1.15 – Genomic Similarity Search Tool

YASS 1.15

:: DESCRIPTION

YASS  (Yet Another Similarity Searcher) is a genomic similarity search tool, for nucleic (DNA/RNA) sequences in fasta or plain text format (it produces local pairwise alignments).  Like most of the heuristic DNA local alignment software (BLAST, FASTA, PATTERNHUNTER, BLASTZ …), YASS uses seeds to detect potential similarity regions, and then tries to extend them to actual alignments. This genomic search tool uses multiple transition constrained spaced seeds that enable to search more fuzzy repeats, as non-coding DNA/RNA. Another simple, but interesting feature is that you can specify the seed pattern used in the search step

PSI-BLAST-ISS 1.04 – The PSI-BLAST Intermediate Sequence Search tool

PSI-BLAST-ISS 1.04

:: DESCRIPTION

PSI-BLAST-ISS is a standalone Unix-based tool designed to delineate reliable regions of sequence alignments as well as to suggest potential variants in unreliable regions. The region-specific reliability is assessed by producing multiple sequence alignments in different sequence contexts followed by the analysis of the consistency of alignment variants. The PSI-BLAST-ISS output enables the user to simultaneously analyze alignment reliability between query and multiple homologous sequences. In addition, PSI-BLAST-ISS can be used to detect distantly related homologous proteins.
