  • Title: Biskit--a software platform for structural bioinformatics.
    Author: Grünberg R, Nilges M, Leckner J.
    Journal: Bioinformatics; 2007 Mar 15; 23(6):769-70. PubMed ID: 17237072.
    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: Biskit is a modular, object-oriented python library that provides intuitive classes for many typical tasks of structural bioinformatics research. It facilitates the manipulation and analysis of macromolecular structures, protein complexes and molecular dynamics trajectories. At the same time, Biskit offers a software platform for the rapid integration of external programs and new algorithms into complex structural bioinformatics workflows. Calculations are thus often delegated to established programs like Xplor, Amber, Hex, Prosa, Hmmer and Modeller; interfaces to further software can be easily added. Moreover, Biskit simplifies the parallelization of time consuming calculations via PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine).
