Downloading instructions: RCrane is included in Coot. Once Coot is launched, go to Extensions -> RCrane launch. RCrane will then be accessible through the newly-created RCrane menu. Coot downloads are available for Linux, Windows, and Mac. The source code for RCrane is available on GitHub.
Note: RCrane and Coot are also available through SBGrid.
AMIGOS II
Author: Leven Wadley
Description: AMIGOS II allows the user to perform interactive comparisons between RNA structures and to conduct database searches for specific RNA structures or substructures.
Downloading instructions: AMIGOS II is available at Github or through SBGrid.
Qnifft
Description: Qnifft utilizes the non-linear Poisson-Boltzmann (NLPB) equation to calculate the electrostatic potentials of nucleic acids.
Qnifft 1.4/2.2
Kim Sharp has developed an updated version of Qnifft that can be compiled for both Linux and SGI platforms. This program is available from his website.
