BisKit Description

Object-oriented python library for structural bioinformatics research Biskit is a free and open source Python library that provides intuitive classes for many typical tasks of structural bioinformatics research. Biskit facilitates the manipulation and analysis of macromolecular structures, protein complexes, and molecular dynamics trajectories. At the same time, Biskit offers a software platform for the rapid integration of external programs and new algorithms into complex structural bioinformatics workflows. Calculations are thus often delegated to established programs like Xplor, Amber, Hex, Prosa, and Hmmer; interfaces to further software can be added easily. Moreover, Biskit simplifies the parallelisation of calculations via PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine).A few examples of what you can do with Biskit:· analyze molecular structures, complexes and molecular dynamics trajectories· automated conformal sampling· automated homology modeling· multi-model protein-protein (cross-)docking· quasiharmonic entropy calculations· parallelise and automate your own structural bioinformatics workflows Requirements: · Python What's New in This Release: · reverted setup.py back to using distutils · provide separate setup_ez.py for the previous easyinstall/setuptools installation · rename bispy script to bis.py to avoid problems with setuptools installations. · rename documentation folder biskit/docs to biskit/doc
