Miscellaneous Bioinformatics Resources

3D-Doc Suite
This Suite of tools contains: FTDock, RPScore and MultiDock.

FTDock ( Fourier Transform Dock ) performs rigid-body docking on two biomolecules in order to predict their correct binding geometry. FTDock outputs multiple predictions that can be screened using biochemical information. FTDock implements the Fourier correlation algorithm of Katchalski-Katzir and coworkers plus an electrostatics function amenable to Fourier correlation.

RPScore ( Residue level Pair potential Score ) uses a single distance constraint empiricaly derived pair potential to screen the ouptut from FTDock. It has been shown that this can reduce dramatically the list of possible complexes within which can be found a correct solution. This program is fully integrated with the present version of FTDock.

A further improvement in the quality of the predictions can be gained by using MultiDock (Multiple copy side-chain refinement Dock ).
A Collection of Protocols for Protein Mass Spectrometry
A Gallery of Sequence Logos 
A graphic representation of a set of binding sites. Logos displays frequencies of bases at each position along with a degree of conversation, measured in bits of information.
Abbreviations of Chemical Compounds 
Abbreviated chemical compounds are searched.
Amino Acid Properties
Structural and chemical properties of amino acids.
Aspergillus Web Site
This site is designed to provide information on pathogenic Aspergilli for clinicians and scientific researchers. The site includes DNA sequence data, a comprehensive bibliographic database, laboratory protocols, treatment information and discussion groups.
AutoDock
A suite of automated docking tools. It is designed to predict how small molecules, such as substrates or drug candidates, bind to a receptor of known 3D structure.
Biofind
Biofind is the Internet's "one-stop-shop" for world wide Biotechnology industry information, gossip and news. 
BioImage
The aim is to provide the general scientific community with a flexible and searchable database of multi-dimensional biological images.
Bioinformatics Links Directory
Features curated links to molecular resources, tools and databases. All of the resources are well tested and are either free or available for a nominal fee. The links listed in this directory are selected on the basis of recommendations from bioinformatics experts in the field. All links contained in the NAR Webserver issue since 2003 are also listed.

A unique bioinformatics and cheminformatics resource that combines detailed drug (i.e. chemical, pharmacological and pharmaceutical) data with comprehensive drug target (i.e. sequence, structure, pathway) information.
Folding@Home Distributed Computing
A distributed computing project which studies protein folding, misfolding, aggregation, and related diseases. The project uses novel computational methods and large scale distributed computing, to simulate timescales thousands to millions of times longer than previously achieved.
GeneClinics
GeneClinics is a medical knowledge base relating genetic testing to the diagnosis, management, and genetic counseling of individuals and families with specific inherited disorders.
NCBI Tools for Software Developers at IEB
The Information Engineering Branch (IEB) is responsible for designing and building NCBI's production software and databases.These resources constitute the bulk of what is seen on NCBI's Web pages. Meant primarily for software developers or other interested groups.
NCBI Tools for Software Developers
The NCBI ToolBox consists of three major parts:
  • Data Model - An explicit data model of biological sequences, structures, bibliographic data, and associated annotations.
  • Data Encoding - A formal specification and encoding rules.
  • Programming Libraries
SHUFFLE
This program, given a sequence of symbols, generates a new version of it consisting of the same symbols but in a randomized order.
