This page is provides some free resources of different fields of my interest. Actually there may be better resources but the items put here represents my sole experience. I found it beneficial so that i wanted to share it with you 

 

1-ClustalW2

 

1-ClustalW2

is a general purpose multiple sequence alignment program for DNA or proteins. It produces biologically meaningful multiple sequence alignments of divergent sequences. It calculates the best match for the selected sequences, and lines them up so that the identities, similarities and differences can be seen. Evolutionary relationships can be seen via viewing Cladograms or Phylograms.

6- Molecular Docking Server

DockingServer is an internet service that calculates the site, geometry and energy of small molecules interacting with proteins. You can dock your ligands to your proteins (see Flexible ligand docking) and analyze their interaction in 5 easy steps. The DockingServer is offered to everyone in the field of molecular modeling from beginners to professionals. DockingServer can be used for molecular docking and thorough analysis of single ligands or for high throughput docking of sdf files.

10- Spectrophotometric measurement of nucleic acids concentration

This program helps you to calculate the concentration of nucleic acids according to their optical density. (DNA, RNA, oligonucleotides). It is better to use {OD260-OD320} instead of OD260.

11-Search of rare codons in nucleotide sequence

This program helps to find rare codons in the coding region. Rare codons may induce problems when protein should be expressed in heterologous organism. Codon frequencies were taken from "Codon-Usage Database" that contains 392,382 CDS's from 11,713 organisms.

12- Conversion: speed of rotation [krpm] - Relative Centrifuge Force [kg].

This program helps to convert the speed of centrifugation [krpm] in relative centrifuge force (RCF)[kg]. The radius of rotor [mm] should be known for the calculation.

15- ArgusLab


A molecular modeling, graphics, and drug design program

http://www.arguslab.com/arguslab40.htm

 

16- Hyper32

Hyper32.exe is a programme for the analysis of enzyme kinetic data. The velocity (v) of enzyme-catalysed reactions is hyperbolically related to the substrate concentration

 http://homepage.ntlworld.com/john.easterby/hyper32.html

17- AutoDock

AutoDockTools is graphical front-end for setting up and running AutoDock - an automated docking software designed to predict how small molecules, such as substrates or drug candidates, bind to a receptor of known 3D structure.

18- Molegro Molecular Viewer

Molegro Molecular Viewer is a free cross-platform application for visualization of molecules.

19- Vega ZZ

 Integrative drug design, docking and molecular interaction analysis 

VEGA ZZ is the evolution of the well known VEGA OpenGL package and includes several new features and enhancements making your research jobs very easy. VEGA was originally developed to create a bridge between most of the molecular software packages only, but in the years, enhancing its features, it's evolved to a complete molecular modelling suite.

20- Restricton enzymes double digest reaction

We have to use hundreds of restriction enzymes during our work of cloning. As every enzyme requires special conditions for proper activity it will be difficult to memorize the best conditions if we would like to combine 2 different restriciton enzymes. the tool provided in this link helps us to determine the best buffers and concentrations of resticiton enzymes if we would like to make double digest.

 21-The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST)

The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) finds regions of local similarity between sequences. The program compares nucleotide or protein sequences to sequence databases and calculates the statistical significance of matches. BLAST can be used to infer functional and evolutionary relationships between sequences as well as help identify members of gene families.  

http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi

To blast human genome

22- Protein ranking comparer

A protein fold shows different behavior in different context, for example, it can have different occurrences in different genomes, also show different transcriptome enrichment in different experiments. However, current database normally only provides the information on a protein fold itself, not on its properties in various context. Partslist can help you compare protein folds in rich context and in a unified way.

23- Protein Data Bank 

The PDB archive contains information about experimentally-determined structures of proteins, nucleic acids, and complex assemblies. As a member of the wwPDB, the RCSB PDB curates and annotates PDB data according to agreed upon standards.

The RCSB PDB also provides a variety of tools and resources. Users can perform simple and advanced searches based on annotations relating to sequence, structure and function. These molecules are visualized, downloaded, and analyzed by users who range from students to specialized scientists.

24- Swiss-Model  An Automated Comparative Protein Modelling Server

SWISS-MODEL is a fully automated protein structure homology-modeling server, accessible via the ExPASy web server, or from the program DeepView (Swiss Pdb-Viewer). The purpose of this server is to make Protein Modelling accessible to all biochemists and molecular biologists World Wide.

 25- pDraw

pDRAW32 lets you "clone" fragments of DNA generated by virtual digestion with restriction enzymes and optionally blunted at one or both ends. Up to 3 fragments may be cloned at a time (can you replicate that in the lab?). Each fragment may be inverted relative to its original orientation. Genetic elements contained in the cloned fragments are transferred to the cloned DNA.

pDRAW32 lets you select which restriction enzymes to plot in the graphical output and list in the textual output. To be selected an enzyme must fit all of the criteria's "Min/Max", "Seq type", and "Subset" OR the criteria "Explicit select". You may also chose to only select the explicitly selected enzymes.

Enzymes may be selected on the basis of how many times they cut in up to 5 different regions of the DNA (of which one is the entire sequence). If an enzyme cuts more than a given "Display cut off" limit, the hits and fragments are not listed in the textual output.

26- Genedoc

 Score assisted manual alignment. Data Analysis and Visualization. GeneDoc provides tools for visualizing, editing, and analyzing multiple sequence alignments of protein and nucleic acid sequences. GeneDoc embeds these tools in an explicitly evolutionary context. This context is most directly expressed as the ability to divide the sequences into groups that reflect the division of superfamilies of genes (and proteins) into distinct families. GeneDoc can analyze and visualize these groups either separately or together.

When Similarity Groups are enabled, GeneDoc assigns amino acids to substitution groups, groups of amino acids that are treated as if they are equivalent to each other, for the purpose of measuring the degree conservation in each column of the alignment.
