MODELLER is available free of charge to academic non-profit institutions.
First, please use the MODELLER home page at http://www.salilab.org/modeller/modeller.html to obtain at least modeller6a-data.tar.Z and an executable for each machine type that you want to use (mod6a_*) (see file INSTALLATION). Next, please access the academic license server from the MODELLER home page to apply for the MODELLER key that has to be assigned to the environment variable KEY_MODELLER6 in your login script (.cshrc). See file INSTALLATION for installation instructions.
There is a MODELLER users email list. You can access it from the MODELLER home page.
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
