COVER STORY
Useful Software for the Calculation of Macromolecules in Your Lab
With the development of fast computers with large disk space, software for computations of macromolecules has been developed. Some researchers with a background of experiments say that they are interested in using this software but that there is a high barrier for them, because they do not know where they can start.
In the following, we introduce what kind of software is available, and which software is easy to use. In the first half of each article the software is introduced. You will get to know where to find the software, whether you can get it for free, how easy it is to use, and how you can combine the software with other packages. In the latter half of each article, some example results using the software are presented. We hope such valuable software for the calculation of macromolecules will be used more and more.
