NAOMI - Version Upgrade Announcement
------------------------------------
_____________________________________________________________________________
The computer program NAOMI Version 2.00b is available _now_ via
anonymous ftp from:
nmrz.ocms.ox.ac.uk
in directory pub/smb/naomi/
Existing academic users may upgrade to the new version which _will_
work with their current main license key, and any existing "feature"
license keys. Existing commercial users will need _new_ license
keys to allow the (free) upgrade to work.
NAOMI is provided at zero charge for academic users.

What is NAOMI?
NAOMI is a computer program aimed at both specialist and non-specialist
researchers who make use of three-dimensional structures of proteins
in their work.
The general features offered by the program make it it a useful addition to
programs such as X-PLOR for performing structure-function related
computations on protein structures. In addition, a number of specific
types of calculation are offered which are of interest to groups of people.
NAOMI provides interfaces to the graphics programs MOLSCRIPT, INSIGHT II
and QUANTA, as well as its own graphical output, to allow efficient
visualizations of the results of calculations and analyses. It is
operated by an intuitive command language, coupled with interactive
documentation, that allows the user to perform manipulations of and
calculations on three-dimensional structures of proteins in a
time-efficient manner.
Features include:
General structural analysis
Interfaces to computer graphics programs (MOLSCRIPT, INSIGHT II, QUANTA)
Dealing with problematic pdb files
Simulating dynamic properties of proteins
Prediction of protein function from 3-D structure
Protein Engineering and Design
NMR structure refinement
Tertiary structure prediction
Prediction of protein folding pathways
NAOMI is Copyright Simon M. Brocklehurst 1992-1995.
NB NAOMI currently works only on Silicon Graphics workstations.
