PRODRG available for download / release of PRODRG2.5 server (fwd)



  Dear all
  The PRODRG2 program, which generates coordinates and topologies from
  scratch (output formats: various PDB files with/without hydrogens and CNS,
  REFMAC, SHELX, WHAT IF, O, MDL Molfile, Mol2, Gromacs, Autodock (and
  others) topologies) is now available as a binary executable for free for
  academic users.  Please download and use PRODRG locally if you want to,
  for instance, convert large libraries of small molecules - this will
  relieve some of the strain on the server, which is still there for anyone
  to use and always runs the most up-to-date/bug-fixed version.
  In addition, a new version, PRODRG2.5, is available for testing on the
  server (and will also soon be available for downloading). There are
  several improvements, the most significant improvement is compatibility
  with the Gromos96 force field. PRODRG2.5 is very much a beta version and
  we would welcome your feedback to help us improve it.
  The server/download page is at http://davapc1.bioch.dundee.ac.uk/prodrg
  Happy PRODRG-ing and best wishes for 2005!
