The new version of Modeller, 9.11, 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 9.11 - the same license key will work. (It won't do any harm to reregister if you want to, though!)
9.11 is primarily a bugfix release relative to the last public release (9.10). Major user-visible changes include:
# Alpha (Tru64), Itanium (ia64) and Sun Solaris binaries are no longer provided. If you wish to use Modeller on one of these machines, please use the older 9.10 version.
# sequence_db objects now only store part of the sequence database in memory when using a binary (HDF5) file (databases in PIR or FASTA format still must be read in in their entirety). Functions that use sequence databases now take a window_size argument, that controls how much of the database is read into memory at one time. This results in much lower memory usage when using large databases such as UniProt.
# SSBOND and CONECT records are now written to PDB files when models containing disulfides are saved.
# The default behavior of automatically converting common modified residues (MSE, MEX, ABU) to their standard equivalents can now be disabled by setting env.io.convert_modres=False.
