Did you know... PyMod Description PyMod 3 is a PyMOL plugin, designed to act as simple and intuitive interface between PyMOL and several bioinformatics tools (i.e., PSI-BLAST, Clustal Omega, HMMER, MUSCLE, CAMPO, PSIPRED, and MODELLER). The current PyMod release, PyMod 3, has been extended with a rich set of functionalities that substantially improve it over its predecessor (PyMod 2.0), particularly in its ability to build homology models through the popular MODELLER package. Starting from the amino acid sequence of a target protein, users may take advantage of PyMod 3 to carry out the three steps of the homology modeling process (that is, template searching, target-template sequence alignment and model building) in order to build a 3D atomic model of a target protein (or protein complex). Additionally, PyMod 3 may also be used outside the homology modeling context, in order to extend PyMOL with numerous types of functionalities. Sequence similarity searches, multiple sequence-structure alignments and evolutionary/phylogeny analyses can all ..→
