Announcing MolViewer 0.91 (still for NeXTStep only) ------------------------- Well, I decided to put out another interim release of MolViewer. The new release has several bug fixes and some new features mostly relating to protein chemistry. As a relatively minor release, I did not have anyone beta test it, so there may still be a few bugs lurking around. This is a binary only release. I don't have 3.1 yet, so it will only run on black hardware. It should only require recompilation to work on the Intel version of NS, so if anyone is interested, I can send them the new source to recompile ... As always, MV can be obtained from ion.rice.edu, and I will upload to sonata.cc.purdue.edu and cs.orst.edu. Here's a partial list of the changes in this version: The protein tool has been substantially improved for viewing long protein sequences. It is now possible to select a subset of the full sequence for the helical wheel diagram and molecule generation. PLEASE READ THE DOCS BEFORE TRYING TO USE THIS! The amino acid inspector now contains buttons for several standard protein conformations. Molecules can now be saved as .HIN files (Hypechem). This feature is not fully supported yet. It is sufficient to transfer basic molecular structures to hyperchem. The color selection in the preferences inspector is now done with a standard color well instead of entering RGB values. Fixed a bug that caused occasional crashes and improper atom selection when the "make one" button is pressed. THR residues are now recognized correctly. As always, comments and suggestions are more than welcome! --------------- Steve Ludtke steve@ion.rice.edu ludtke@physics.rice.edu stevel@alumni.caltech.edu
