The new version of Modeller, 9v8, is now available for download! Please
see the download page at http://salilab.org/modeller/ for more information.
If you have a license key for Modeller 8 or 9, there is no need to
reregister for Modeller 9v8 - the same license key will work. (It won't
do any harm to reregister if you want to, though!)
9v8 is primarily a bugfix release relative to the last public release
(9v7). Major user-visible changes include:
# Silicon Graphics (IRIX) binaries are no longer provided. If you wish
to use Modeller on an IRIX machine, please use the older 9v7 version.
# Residues treated as BLK no longer have to be HETATM residues; they
will be marked as ATOM if so defined in restyp.lib or in the template
PDB (for example, DNA or RNA residues). automodel.nonstd_restraints()
now builds restraints on both HETATM and BLK residues.
# Bonds between BLK residues are now detected by a simple distance
criterion and are restrained more strongly than other distances by
automodel.nonstd_restraints().
# A new method Chain.join() allows chain breaks between chains to be
removed.
# Files compressed with 'xz' can now be read, provided that the 'xz'
binary is available on your system.
# The allow_alternates option to alignment.append() will now allow G in
the alignment sequence to match any non-standard residue type in the
PDB file which maps to G. This is useful if the alignment sequence is
'cleaned' as by sequence_db.read().
