MODELLER is available free of charge to academic non-profit institutions.
First, please download the MODELLER distribution file from the MODELLER home page at http://salilab.org/modeller/. Next, please obtain the MODELLER key from the academic license server, also accessible from the MODELLER home page. This key is required to run MODELLER, and you should provide it to the Windows or Unix install program when prompted to do so. (If installing manually, the key needs to be assigned to the environment variable KEY_MODELLER8v0 in your login or MODELLER startup script.) See file INSTALLATION for further installation instructions.
There is a MODELLER users email list. You can access it from the MODELLER home page or subscribe to it directly by sending an email message with the word ``subscribe'' in its body to modeller_usage-request@salilab.org.
A graphical interface to MODELLER is available as part of QUANTA, INSIGHTII, and DISCOVERY STUDIO, interactive molecular modeling programs from Accelrys Inc., San Diego, with many tools for protein modeling and structural analysis. These programs facilitate preparation of input files for MODELLER (e.g., an alignment file) as well as an analysis of results (e.g., an evaluation of the models). If you are interested in these programs, please contact
