This can become even more exciting if the information is based on accurate computational results rather than on crude approximations that eventually might create unreal alternative perceptions. Here, we report on a VMD plug-in – VMDMagazine, which can play and… text/html 2017-06-30T11:26:12+01:00 https://www.fc.up.pt/PortoBioComp/database/doku.php?id=software&rev=1498818372&do=diff List of Software currently available on the PortoBioComp Database: ---------- VsLab - VMD plug-in vsLab (Virtual Screening LABoratory) is an easy-to-use graphical interface for the well known molecular docking software AutoGrid/AutoDock that has been included into VMD as a plug-in. This program allows almost anyone to use AutoDock and AutoGrid for simple docking or for virtual screening campaigns without requiring any deep knowledge about these techniques. text/html 2018-10-11T17:17:59+01:00 https://www.fc.up.pt/PortoBioComp/database/doku.php?id=molup&rev=1539274679&do=diff Operating systems: macOS, Linux, and Windows (NEW) Contacts : Henrique Silva Fernandes Maria João Ramos Nuno Sousa Cerqueira ---------- 1. Introduction molUP is a VMD extension that provides a simple manner for loading and saving Gaussian files, and analyze related results. molUP provides a graphical interface for VMD where the users can load and save chemical structures in the Gaussian file formats.

The main drawback of this software is the learning curve that turns it hard to use by non-expert users. One of the major difficulties that non-expert users have while handling VMD regards the selection of atoms.
