NIH Research Resource Center for the Development of Multiscale Modeling Tools for Structural Biology
Babel is a program designed to interconvert a number of file formats currently used in molecular modeling.
Remediator converts PDB files between PDBv2.3 and PDBv3.0 formats.
Our goal is to help advance the methods of identifying protein structure from sequence. The Center has been organized to provide the means of objective testing of these methods via the process of blind prediction. In addition to support of the CASP meetings our goal is to promote an evaluation of prediction methods on a continuing basis (note: not a resource).
