Summary of the new features in EasyModeller 3.0 : A Linux based GUI to Modeller for homology modelling of protein sequences.
1. A much enhanced user interface with a step by step guiding instructions in a logical flow for beginners in Homology Modelling.
2. Automatic detection of dependencies (Modeller and Python) and popup message to warn the user in case they are absent.
3. Option to upload unlimited number of user defined templates and also automatic offline search for templates for a given query sequence.
4. A much highlighted feature of this version is the "on the fly" modeller script editing for advanced users. Advanced users can now on the fly modify the modeller scripts within the tool to generate fine tuned homology models with additional parameters.
5. A much colorful alignment viewer and a simple to use alignment editor.
6. An user friendly way to analyze the generated models using inbuilt zoomable Ramachandran plot, zoomable DOPE profile analyzer, pdb optimizer using conjugate gradient and steepest descent with user defined parameters and a simple molecular dynamics as well (based on Modeller scripts itself). Easily calls the default system installed pdb viewers (Rasmol, Pymol or Jmol).
