Dear Friend,

DO YOU SUFFER FROM BAD CREDIT?  DO YOU WISH YOU 
COULD START OVER WITH A CLEAN SLATE?  Maybe you just 
want a better way to protect your privacy.  

Many of us never realized the long-term effect that bad credit has on 
our lives.  In the computer age, many of these negative issues seem 
inescapable, and for good reason.  Fortunately, Credit Medic will 
rescue you from your past negative credit and open the way to a new 
life in the credit world.  By creating an entirely new credit file, you can 
obtain the credit you deserve.  This powerful program will explain how 
you can create a new credit bureau file that will give you the opportunity 
for new credit.  

People lose their credit privileges for any number of reasons.  In our 
society, it's very difficult to live without good credit.  Regardless of 
your past credit history, this program will show you how to regain good 
credit.  But you will get more than that.  With good credit comes high 
self-esteem and self-worth.  You will be better able to take care of 
yourself or your family and enjoy the things you deserve.

Credit Medic will walk you through this process step by step.  It will 
take some energy and focus on your part but the rewards will be well 
worth the effort.  By creating a new credit file, the Government allows 
you a second chance at getting the credit you deserve.  Thousands of 
people who have used this program have achieved success in releasing 
themselves from the exasperating stranglehold of bad credit and moved 
on to having outstanding credit.

Understand that there is absolutely no reason for you to believe that it is 
impossible for you to release yourself from your past negative credit and 
move on to excellent credit!  

The process is very simple, but it is important to be dedicated and to 
follow through with all details.  You must also be patient, some steps 
take longer than others.  Don't be fooled into thinking that this is a 
miracle quick fix.  This method will require some work on your part.

What's important to realize is how the Government and the 
CRAs (Credit Reporting Agencies) identify you and list all of your past 
and present credit information.  Credit Medic will show you how to 
apply for new credit identification.  This creates a whole new credit 
identity, that runs parallel (but never crosses) your existing credit.  

This program doesn't require that you repair your old credit file, although 
it's a good idea for many obvious reasons.  This is your decision to make.  
Credit Medic isn't loaded with fluff or filler material.  Everything in this kit 
is important!  You will find out about rights that you probably didn't know 
you had.  Remember, you deserve good credit.  Follow the program carefully, 
and you will be successful!  

Credit Medic will give you a second chance for credit.  It will also be your 
last chance.  You must understand that you only get ONE (1) second 
chance.  If your credit is damaged again, Credit Medic cannot help you.  

Credit Medic is a PROVEN method that REALLY WORKS if you follow 
the steps described.  Credit Medic DOES NOT do the work for you, but 
it DOES give you COMPLETE detailed instructions for building NEW 
credit.  

DON'T PROCRASTINATE!  YOU DESERVE GOOD CREDIT!  ORDER 
by June 10th and receive 50% off the regular price of $39.95.  NOW

Hello!

I am trying to convert a protein pdb file into a list of its torsion
angles.
The program "babel" version 1.6 supports an output format "torlist". Who
has experience with that format? Where is it defined?
I expect "torlist" to be a list of torsion angles of a molecule. But the
results are differenct than the torsion anlges computed with procheck.
Who can help?

Thanks,
                Eckart Bindewald

Hello,

St@tServ (http://www.statserv.com) was launched in January and we
received almost 20000 visits since then, with over 600 people who
registered to receive the St@tServ news. We would like to thank
everybody for the very useful comments and suggestions that have been
sent to us.

We are proud to announce new sections in St@tServ, and especially the
bookstore section that has received a warm welcome from the many
visitors of St@tServ. 

We would like to develop the "jobs" section and we encourage you to
submit offers and applications to us. We usually publish them within 48
hours.

We are increasing the quality of the site and the number of features
little by little because St@tServ is not our main activity, but we have
many plans for the second part of the year, and be sure this is a really
alive archive.

We wish you all some excellent statistics,

Walter Van Hecke

I am sorry I am not familiar with this version of Babel but if you
want more opinions on torsions...

I am not sure what platform you are using but if you have access
to a C compiler you can download, compile and run Andrew Martin's
"torsions" program;

ftp://bsmcha1.biochem.ucl.ac.uk/pub/martin/torsions.c

I don't have access to my Linux box at the moment but I also
seem to remember that Stride (from the Argos lab) will also provide
this information (as will DSSP).

There are probably also web servers which allow you to run any
of these programs (? Brookhaven, ExPasy).
     Maybe this will help,
          Bernard

after check the result of babel and torsions.c, they give the same data
in phi/psi/omega angle (because torsions.c gives only phi/psi/omega angle)

babel will give any possible torsion in the residue without any linebreak.

I am trying to write a program convert torsion to pdb, did anybody write
it before?

Hi,

I'm looking for an W3 interface to SwissPROT that allows us to search with
two or more peptide sequences (12-18 aa). The peptides derived from
trypsin digestions. Additional information that can be provided are pI and
MW of the undigested protein. All on-line tools I looked so far (starting
with the Tools page at expasy) need at least one sequence and/or pI and/or
MW and/or several MS/MS or MALDI data entries and/or sequence tags. Since
the genome of "our working object" is not subject of a genome project, we
can only look for homology.

Each peptide alone gives several hits (about 60 % homology) using FASTA
but no hits using BLAST.

Thank you in advance,

Uwe Baumert

Hi all!
I would like to know if there is any software/program (preferably 
shareware/public-domain) which allows to superimpose several 
protein/peptide conformations onto one (say, template confo.) in a batch 
mode. The program may be for either IRIX or OS2 (DEC-ALPHA) or SOLARIS or 
LINUX or DOS (No Mac-OS please). Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the recommendation (I was going to do so myself, but you've

However, I would prefer that people download via my web page:

This just takes you through a simple registration process so I can

Announcing the release of NAMD version 1.5 beta 6
------------------------------------------------- 

The Theoretical Biophysics group at the Beckman Institute, the 
University of Illinois would like to announce the availability of 
version 1.5 beta 6 of NAMD, a high-performance molecular mechanics
program for simulating large biomolecular systems on parallel and
distributed computers.  This software is being made available to the
molecular modeling community free of charge and includes commented
source code and extensive documentation.  

New in this version
-------------------
* Enhanced performance by as much as 30%.  
* Modified to work with the latest version of DPMTA (2.7).  
* Included DPMTA source to make installation easier.  
* Simplified build process, fewer options to specify, better documentation.  
* Several bug fixes.  

====================  Basic information about NAMD  ======================

Obtaining NAMD
--------------
A more complete description of NAMD is available on the NAMD home page:
	http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/

The software itself is available via anonymous ftp in the directory:
	ftp://ftp.ks.uiuc.edu/pub/mdscope/namd/

Email questions to namd@ks.uiuc.edu.

Features
--------
Efficient full electrostatics:
  NAMD incorporates the Distributed Parallel Multiple Tree Algorithm
  (DPMTA) developed by the Scientific Computing Group at Duke University
  to provide full electrostatic interactions in O(N) time.  To further
  reduce the computational cost, DPMTA is integrated using a multiple
  timestep integration scheme which computes full electrostatic
  interactions only periodically during the simulation.

Scalable parallelism:
  NAMD has an efficient parallel design that allows large systems to 
  scale well to many processors.  The use of a spatial decomposition 
  scheme combined with message-driven execution achieves load balance 
  and the overlap of communication and computation.  

Modifiable:
  A major design goal of NAMD is to allow researchers to implement new 
  algorithms and techniques easily.  To achieve this, NAMD design and
  implementation is fully documented in the NAMD Programmer's Guide.  
  NAMD has an object-oriented design implemented in C++ to provide a 
  high degree of modularity and data abstraction.  

Portable:
  For communication, NAMD uses PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) from 
  Oak Ridge National Laboratories, which has itself been ported to 
  most architectures.  Porting NAMD is then simply a matter of having 
  PVM and a reasonable C++ compiler.  We have successfully ported 
  NAMD to all of our UNIX computers, which include HP, SGI, and Sun, 
  both single processor and shared memory multiprocessor.  

Compatibility with X-PLOR:
  The input and output files used by NAMD are identical to those used 
  by the program X-PLOR.  Thus, simulations can be easily migrated 
  between the two packages, allowing the output of NAMD to be analyzed 
  using X-PLOR or any other tool built for these file formats.

Standard MD features:
  NAMD implements standard molecular dynamics features such as energy 
  minimization, velocity rescaling, spherical boundary conditions, 
  harmonic constraints, and Langevin dynamics.

The PIRALN Protein Sequence Alignment Database is a database of protein
alignments produced by L.-S. Yeh, G.Y. Srinivasarao and C.R. Marzec of
NBRF/PIR. It is derived from sequences in the PIR-International Protein
Sequence Database. Alignment entries are one of three types: sequences
from one family which are less than 55% different from each other,
sequences representing various families within a superfamily or sequence
segments corresponding to some homology domain found in multiple
proteins.

Release 20.0, June 1998, of the PIRALN database contains a total of
3503 alignments, with 41,389 members. There are 2113 family, 1026
superfamily and 364 homology domain alignments. These alignments are
curated and contain only representative sequences; alignment entries are
not necessarily complete.

The information contained in a PIRALN entry is divided into twelve
sections. The sections are listed below in the order in which they occur
in the entry.

  Header - entry beginning and identifier
  Title - title of the alignment
  Alternate names - alternate names for the group
  Date - creation, sequence revision and text revision dates
  Members - PIR entry codes of protein sequences used in the alignment
  Members Titles - PIR titles of sequences used in the alignment
  Other members - other members of the group not represented on the alignment
  Comment - comment lines
  Keywords - keywords present in all the members of the alignemnt
  Other keywords - keywords not common to every member of the alignment
  Alignment - alignment of sequences
  Matrix - matrix of percent differences

The Alignment database has been integrated with the ATLAS multidatabase
information retrieval system, developed at PIR, which provides full
access to the data. 

The Alignment database can be accessed via the WWW at
www-nbrf.georgetown.edu/pir and the "Atlas of Protein and Genomic
Sequences" CD-ROM available from the PIR-International centers in the
US, Europe, and Japan. For anonymous FTP download go to the PIR FTP site
at address NBRF.Georgetown.edu directory [ANONYMOUS.PIR.ALIGNMENT].

Techical questions regarding PIRALN should be directed to Christopher
Marzec and other questions to Lai-Su Yeh or Geetha Srinivasarao at

Hello there,

My question is relatively straightforward:

Is there any Unix software (IRIX) that can predict some nucleotide
covariations in a fasta (or msf) alignment ?

Thanks for your help !

Dan.

Is there any chance that the server is set up so that it will
not accept "anonymous" as the password?  If this is the case
you should change your browser setting so that it sends your
e-mail address instead (this is the equivalent of answering
the "enter your complete e-mail address" message that some
plain ftp servers give upon login).
     Using Netscape this is under Edit/Preferences/Advanced
for other browsers there is probably an equivalent.  Another
problem could be that your browser refuses to accept cookies
(I always do) and that their server insists on you receiving
one.
     I'm sorry but I'm still using Win3.1x so I will not bother
downloading it myself.  I'm a big fan of GNU Plot for graphing
but the incorporation of sequence analysis and display looks
really nice so I hope they include Linux in their Unix platforms.
     Maybe some of this will help,
          Bernard

I had a similar problem. Apparently there is a restriction on downloads
outside the USA. I was offerred a password to try but it didnt make any
difference so I gave up.

Can anybody tell me how good Prophet is - should I try again.

As the error message says, for some reason the ftp server

  www-prophet.bbn.com

does not allow anonymous access. Either this is a mistake of the ftp
site administrator, or it is a clever way to make the visitor hit the
"Having Problems Downloading Prophet? - Click for Help" button and to
enter her/his address etc.

Anyway, you can try

   ftp://ftp.be.embnet.org/pub/biosoft/prophet/pro5setup.exe

Unfortunately, in order to port Prophet to Linux we would have to have a
versionof the Win32 API as well as MFC for Linux. We are using a third-party
version of
this for the above mentioned platforms to port from Windows to Unix. As of now,

there has been no mention of releasing that product for Linux.

As of now, Prophet is free of charge if downloading over the web or via the FTP
site.
Sources will never be delivered as the source tree is roughly 150 meg in size.
;) As
far as I know, Prophet will remain free for the life of the NIH contract that
it is
currently maintained under.

This is completely intentional. As seen by my previous response, the FTP
siteallows anonymous access to certain domains due to U.S. export control
laws.

Hmm. Noone else should be distributing the software especially since we
have
the above mentioned export issue. I'll have to look into this. If anyone
is experiencing problems with downloading Prophet, please send email to
prophet-help@bbn.com.

I currently administer the www-prophet.bbn.com website. Due to export control laws
we are unable to distribute Prophet outside the U.S. without first obtaining address
information of the person wishing to download. The FTP site restricts sites based on
the domain name. Also, if DNS fails then the FTP site will deny anonymous access.
We do allow for anonymous access to those sites that are recognized as "within the
U.S." (with some margin of error of course). These are sites like .edu, .gov, .com,
etc. If you have any problems downloading, please send mail to
prophet-help@bbn.com. Thanks.

Chris Hopkins

I know they have been sent ail several times specifically requesting a

I don't believe that they intend to ever release their sources.

I recall asking them about Linux support some months ago and didn't
get a supportive response. I tried the windows version to see if the
package was worth pursuing.

FWIW, my impression of the sequence analysis utilities was that they
were adequate in terms of functions and were visually appealing, but
had a very inflexible interface. The GUI could really slow things down
and there was no apparent interface to any scripting facility to
compensate for this. (This is an implied criticism of windows' lack of
such a facility).

Given the price, one can't complain. I find that on Linux GDE is
superior, but that's largely because it can give output in
awk/Perl-friendly plain text. Also, if I had the money for a Dec, I
wouldn't be worried about paying out for nicer commercial package
instead.

Try my ProFit program - designed for protein fitting, but should be
fine for what you want. It uses a script language to control the
fitting and you can easily write a script to run through a whole
set of fits and output the results. It now has around 250 registered
users.

It's written for Unix/Linux, but I've had reports of people using
it under DOS with only minor changes (to things like filenames,
cos the source filenames are too long for DOS) - there are some
instructions with the source.

You can get it from:

Actually, the source tree is outside the realm of MFC. All of the VC++
projects
and source code that make Prophet take up about 150 meg. One thing I
didn't
mention about distributing the source code (and a rather important one)
is that
the code is copyrighted by the NIH and they do not wish to distribute
the code.

You have to put them an e-mail. They give a password, and you download by ftp 
using this pass.

I did, it works, the program also. It is rather enormous and does a lot of 
different things (we call this 'une usine a gaz').It reads nuc seqs, does 
restriction, translation.. and pep seqs, does clivage and reverse translation. 
It has a nice interface to the web for doing direct blasts with bits 
of seqs and so on. Probably more but I haven't had time yet to explore

All the best 
Francis

I'm sure  prophet looses a lot of potential users because of the
download problems.

Why can't the web page specifically  tell the downloader of the
non-USA restrictions rather than give them a cryptic FTP error?

To have a direct link to the internet, you need a direct connection to the
internet.
You can do that with a network card and an ISP providing you the connection.
With modem or ISDN you can connect to the internet when you want, in that
case
you need a modem and an ISP. This applies to a single computer.

For a group of networked computers, you can use one computer as a gateway.
All networked computers can access internet through this computer. However
these computers need to have their proxy setting filled. There are several
softwares can be the proxy server, Microsoft has one, Wingate is a good
choice
too.

	Hmmm. I know two products that do the other job (from XWindow to
Win32), that several developpers I know are using because "developping
stable products under linux (unix) is easiest, in particular for trapping
memory leak". Anyway, I can't see why a product that can port something to
the above mentioned platforms can't port it to linux. As far as I know,
this should give you a source code for XWindow, so it should compile
well on all unix with apropriate libraries. Isn't it the one used by
the StarOffice development team?

	It would be great if we can make some lobbying actions, regarding
the importance of Linux in our community, so that you can provide Linux
ports of your program.

	Where is the problem? Lot of GNU products have such source size.
Releasing the sources could help further development...

	Is it possible to take a look at this contract? I know I'm paranoiac,
but we had recently bad experiments from a product that slides from
free to proprietary and having to recover all the data was not easy.

	Thanks for your answers.

I totally understand the importance of Linux. I run Linux at home. ;) Anyway, dueto
time/budget constraints we don't have the manpower/money to devote to another
port at this time. We hope to provide for more platforms in future releases though.

I don't believe the contract is publicly available.

Hello Iam looking for  a program that will allow me to send, as a fax
format, to a fax machine.
Id like to be able to click a file and send it as I see it on the monitor,
may it be a database, spread sheet, HTML or whatever.
If there is anything on the net that I could download to do this job??
please email me if yo u know of such software.

Maybe because the product itself doesn't exist for Linux?

No, StarOffice uses its own proprietary library. AFAIK there is no
Win32 API for Linux.

	Well, if it is able to run properly from a server to a Linux box
under X, it's not a big problem. Can it?

I don't use gde, but I was able to get it running w/o any
problem on a sol2.6 machine.  Sol2.6 does include all the
old openwindows stuff as far as I can tell, though I've switched
to using CDE software mostly.

Dear all, I'm looking for a program (running preferentialy on Mac or PC)
creating a table of mismatches observed in an alignment

To be clear :

seq 1 ATGCATGCATGC
seq 2 ATTCATCCTACG

      from

     A C G T
   A - 0 0 1
to C 0 - 2 0
   G 0 1 - 0
   T 1 0 1 -

I know I can write a little perl script but the program is to be used
without imstallation of perl on the computer (by somebody who doesn't
know how to do this).

Thanks for your answers

Sincerly,

Xavier Cousin

Dear colleagues,

We want to regularily search sequence databases for proteins which are homologous to a given target.

Thus, we are searching for a (commercial or academic) tool which allows us to 
- run a BLAST search in the current version of various protein sequence databases (SwissProt, nr,PIR,...) 
- mark all hits which are not yet found previously

So it should 
- compare the results of a BLAST search with a database
- create and change a database of protein sequence entries 

I would be glad if you could point me to such a program.

Thank you for your help,
Juergen Pleiss

(This thread is becoming more informative than I first thought)

I was just wondering....  Has anyone actually looked at the
variation in bond lengths from "ideal" in the protein
structure databases? (I realise the publication for individual
structures usually comment on strange bonds).  Are there any
publications on this?  It sounds like valuable information
for the databases for protein dynamics simulation.
     Just curious,

This is easy to do with a shell script using the SEALS package

   http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Walker/SEALS/index.html

Many variations are possible on the following script, which
(starting with a fasta library of your favorite sequences) uses
PSI-BLAST to find new homologs, which are mailed to you and added
to the library.  The latest additions are kept in a file with a 
name based on the input file, suffixed with '_new'.

What is even more interesting is that by using the 'tax_filt' command,
you can limit or sort your new additions by any taxonomic node.

If you also want software to keep your databases updated, this
functionality is about to be added to SEALS (two releases from now).

Email me with any questions.

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to announce the release of beta version of GETAREA 1.0,
the new free WWW service for calculating the solvent accessible surface
area of molecules. Users wanting to calculate SASA of proteins will
merely supply the name of their local file containing atomic coordinates

in PDB format. There is an otpion to calculate solvation energy and
inclusion of molecules other than proteins. The relevant URL is:

http://www.scsb.utmb.edu/getarea/area_form.html

Note: the current release is for testing purposes only. Surely there are

still some undiscovered bugs. Please help us disclose them by submitting

test inputs. All remarks and suggestions should be directed to
robert@nmr.utmb.edu or werner@newton.utmb.edu

Thank you in advance,

(1) for internal coordinates to work, you'll need bond lengths,
    bond angles, and dihedral angles - if you assume "ideal"
    values for bond lengths and angles, errors will accumulate
    and once you get to the C-terminus the result may be quite
    large

(2) if you have the correct bond lengths, angles, and dihedrals,
    you still need the coordinates of one of the atoms if you
    want to reproduce the exact orientation/translation of the
    molecule (probably only relevant for crystal structures)

Thanx Eric, but babel seems have no such function to convert torsion

  Vous pouvez télécharger sur http://perso.easynet.fr/~philimar un
logiciel gratuit conçu pour le contrôle de qualité interne des
techniques analytiques manuelles dans les laboratoires de biologie
clinique. Il trace les cartes de contrôle, archive le données et
calcule les fourchettes de validation.

L’accès aux principales fonctions par des icônes ainsi que l’aide en
ligne font de ContQual un logiciel à l’abord immédiat et sans
apprentissage pour tout technicien familiarisé avec les cartes de
contrôle.

Le nombre d’analytes contrôlables est illimité, chacun pouvant l’être
avec trois produits différents. Les trois niveaux sont validés
simultanément dans un affichage graphique (vert, orange, rouge)
symbolisant les intervalles de contrôle, d’alerte et d’action. Ces
intervalles sont calculés à partir des données saisies antérieurement
en utilisant un t de Student avec deux seuils de probabilité : 5% et
1%.

Au moment du changement de lot d’un produit de contrôle, les
statistiques de l’ancien lot sont archivées et la carte de contrôle
réinitialisée.

La modification ou la supression des points aberrants est réservée aux
cadres du laboratoire et protégée par un mot de passe.

Les fichiers sont sauvegardés périodiquement sur une disquette avec un
intervalle paramétrable. Un rappel apparaît à l’ouverture du programme
dès que le délai est écoulé.

En fin de journée, on peut affic
