Room 175 Presentation Computer

Function:

Computer connected to presentation system in 175 Biochem Addition. Offers both Mac OS X and Windows options for display on the projector system.

SBGrid Structural Biology Software

Function:

Provides a collection of 270+ structural biology applications on Linux and OS X computers. A few commercial applications are also supported, including Geneious for cloning and bioinformatics, incentive builds for PyMOL, and for North American labs, the Schrodinger Small-Molecule Drug Discovery Suite. Allows access a complete execution environment that includes the suite of structural biology applications preconfigured to run without any additional settings. Applications can be invoked from the shell prompt; there is no need to set up additional variables, change your path environment, or install supporting applications.
