Molecular Modeling Software Relase

[Howard C. Smith]

---------------------- Announcement ----------------------
**********************************************************

PUBLIC DOMAIN Molecular Modeling software 

	for Silicon Graphics Inc.  4D systems

	The MULTI molecular modeling system is a multi-process
molecular modeling package. Interprocess communication is
achieved through shared memory structures. Currently 12
specialized processes allow the generation and on-the-fly
modification of shared memory display lists. 


The following features are a sampling of functionality.
	
	Loading and visualization of Brookhaven PDB files.

	Loading and visualization of Cambridge 

		crystallographic data. (soon!)

	Generation of peptide ribbons.
	
	Visual Distance contact checking.
	 

	3D plot generation from display list information.
	(A useful program stand alone 3D plotting program as well)
	
	Generation and display of animation sequences (movies) from 

	AMBER dynamics runs.

	Interactive monitoring of distances, bond and
	dihedral angles.

	Structure modification and docking capability. 


	Display 'paring' through set definitions.
	
	Display of user defined crystal packing and symmetry.

	Full use of SGI's lighting capabilities.

This system will soon be (IS NOW) available via anon ftp.
