| PackageDescription | A free molecular modeling and molecular graphics tool
BALLView provides fast OpenGL-based visualization of molecular structures,
molecular mechanics methods (minimization, MD simulation using the
AMBER, CHARMM, and MMFF94 force fields), calculation and visualization
of electrostatic properties (FDPB) and molecular editing features.
.
BALLView can be considered a graphical user interface on the basis of
BALL (Biochemical Algorithms Library), having taken the most common
demands of protein chemists and biophysicists in particular taken into account.
which is currently being developed in the groups of Hans-Peter Lenhof
(Saarland University, Saarbruecken, Germany) and Oliver Kohlbacher
(University of Tuebingen, Germany). BALL is an application framework
in C++ that has been specifically designed for rapid software
development in Molecular Modeling and Computational Molecular Biology.
It provides an extensive set of data structures as well as classes
for Molecular Mechanics, advanced solvation methods, comparison and
analysis of protein structures, file import/export, and visualization. |
