ballview

free molecular modeling and molecular graphics tool

BALLView provides fast OpenGL-based visualization of molecular structures, molecular mechanics methods (minimization, MD simulation using the AMBER, CHARMM, and MMFF94 force fields), calculation and visualization of electrostatic properties (FDPB) and molecular editing features. BALLView can be considered a graphical user interface on the basis of BALL (Biochemical Algorithms Library) with a focus on the most common demands of protein chemists and biophysicists in particular. It is developed in the groups of Hans-Peter Lenhof (Saarland University, Saarbruecken, Germany) and Oliver Kohlbacher (University of Tuebingen, Germany). BALL is an application framework in C++ that has been specifically designed for rapid software development in Molecular Modeling and Computational Molecular Biology. It provides an extensive set of data structures as well as classes for Molecular Mechanics, advanced solvation methods, comparison and analysis of protein structures, file import/export, and visualization.

ballview-dbg

debug symbols for BALL and VIEW libraries

BALL (Biochemical Algorithms Library) is an application framework in C++ that has been specifically designed for rapid software development in Molecular Modeling and Computational Molecular Biology. The package comprises an extensive manual on how to program molecular modelling programs with BALL. This package contains all the extra information on the libraries of BALL, BALLView and the Python wrappers to help debuggers like GDB to interpret a core dump. This is tremendously useful for debugging and maybe even more so for the communication between the user of this package and upstream when something goes wrong.
