We have created a web-based database containing programs which are thought to be of interest to researchers in the fields of structural biology, quantum chemistry, and bioinformatics. The database is still in its infancy, and we are continuosly working on improving its interface and content, but the initial version is now ready for the user community to use. We encourage users to send the developers and moderators suggestions for improvements, and new application submissions for the database itself. We will eventually (within a month or two) be releasing the source code to the web-based database interface and associated setup scripts and administration tools so that others can create their own software databases to serve application domains not included in our database. Anyone interested in acquiring the source code in its present state should send email to biosoftdb@ks.uiuc.edu with this request. We welcome any ideas or feedback that you would like to share with us. The database is located within the "MDSalon" at: http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Services/MDSalon or directly via: http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Development/biosoftdb Thanks!!
