VMD "Visual Molecular Dynamics" 1.7.1 Announcement
------------------------------------------------
The Theoretical Biophysics group at the Beckman Institute For
Advanced Science and Technology, the University of Illinois (U-C),
is proud to announce the public release of VMD 1.7.1. VMD is a package
for the visualization and analysis of biomolecular systems.
VMD includes features for animation of molecular dynamics trajectories,
interactive simulation, sequence browsing and structure highlighting,
and powerful scripting capabilities. This software is distributed
free of charge and includes source code, documentation, and precompiled
binaries for Compaq, IBM, HP, Linux, MacOS-X, Sun, and SGI Unix systems,
as well as Microsoft Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2K.
The VMD documentation includes an installation guide, a users guide, and a
programmers guide for interested researchers. VMD also provides on-line
help through the use of an external HTML viewer. VMD development is
supported by the NIH National Center for Research Resources.
A full description of VMD is available via the VMD WWW home page:
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/
The authors request that any published work which utilizes VMD includes
a reference to the VMD web page and/or the following reference:
Humphrey, W., Dalke, A. and Schulten, K., "VMD - Visual Molecular
Dynamics", J. Molec. Graphics, 1996, vol. 14, pp. 33-38.
The Theoretical Biophysics group encourages VMD users to be closely
involved in the development process through reporting bugs, contributing
fixes, periodical surveys and via other means.
We are eager to hear from you, and thank you for using our software!

| NAMD 2.5b1 Release Announcement |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
April 18, 2002
The Theoretical Biophysics Group at the University of Illinois is
proud to announce the public release of a new version of NAMD, a
parallel, object-oriented molecular dynamics code designed for
high-performance simulation of large biomolecular systems. NAMD is
distributed free of charge and includes source code. NAMD development
is supported by the NIH National Center for Research Resources.
NAMD 2.5b1 has several advantages over NAMD 2.4:
- Improved constant pressure simulation and coordinate wrapping.
- Additional parameters can be changed during a simulation script.
- Fixes to AMBER parm file reader for AMBER 7 or large molecules.
NAMD is available from http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/.
For your convenience, NAMD has been ported to and will be installed
on the machines at the NSF-sponsored national supercomputing centers.
If you are planning substantial simulation work of an academic nature
you should apply for these resources. Benchmarks for your proposal
are available at http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/performance.html
The Theoretical Biophysics Group encourages NAMD users to be closely
involved in the development process through reporting bugs, contributing
fixes, periodical surveys and via other means. Questions or comments
may be directed to namd@ks.uiuc.edu.
We are eager to hear from you, and thank you for using our software!

February 22, 2002 - The Theoretical Biophysics Group at the University of Illinois is proud to announce the public release of the BioCoRE Server software. BioCoRE is a tool-oriented web-based collaborative environment. BioCoRE is distributed free of charge and development is supported by the NIH National Center for Research Resources.
The Theoretical Biophysics Group has been administering a test BioCoRE server for over a year now and is now releasing the server software for installation at remote locations. This offers users faster access and gives administrators increased customizability.
The Theoretical Biophysics Group BioCoRE server is accessible from http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/biocore/ and server software may be downloaded from http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/biocore/localServer/.
The Theoretical Biophysics Group encourages BioCoRE users and server administrators to be closely involved in the development process through reporting bugs, contributing fixes, periodical surveys and via other means. Questions or comments may be directed to biocore@ks.uiuc.edu.
We are eager to hear from you, and thank you for using our software!
