Software: Display & Contacts & Utilities

For those working with RNA: RNABC is updated and available for Mac OS X and Suitename for RNA backbone conformer analysis is available either in MolProbity or as a standalone. Also, we added links to collaborators' software offerings; links are also available in the dropdown menubar.

Databases: protein & nucleic acid compilations

Top500 angle dataset (top500-angles.050606.zip 80MB) & README for Ramachandran contours and rotamer scoring distributions, Top500 proteins with optimized H atoms, rotamer libraries, RNA backbone rotamers,  ...

MolProbity: structure validation

Web service for all-atom contact and geometrical analysis of your model.
Click this section's header, the image at left, or the MolProbity badge in any of the menus to go to the initial page of the MolProbity server.

Research: 3D structure of proteins & nucleic acids

All-atom contacts; structure validation & improvement; protein backbone motions; protein sidechain rotamers; RNA backbone rotamers, or view the RLab research index page.

Teaching: Course materials

Duke courses: BCH222, BCH258, BCH291, & CHEM22L.
Off-site workshops: on-line tutorial on validation and rebuilding (updated from the 2005 ACA convention short course); CSH X-Ray Course, annual course; and others.
