[gmx-users] Whereabouts of NDLP???

[Tsjerk Wassenaar]

Hi Alan,

Unfortunately there have been server problems (severe hacking) in
Groningen some while ago, and the NDLP server was terminated. But,
we're right about to reestablish an improved server here in Utrecht.
This server will be much faster, seconds rather than hours - the
optimal packing for the GroEL/GroES complex (60k atoms) took somewhere
around a minute maybe, and will also provide an optimal simulation
cell for a given ensemble (NMR, ENM, MD). In addition, the principal
author at the time was not in favour of adding the program to the
Gromacs suite, and there were some depency issues as well. I don't see
why the new program should not also become incorporated in Gromacs.

That being said, we still need a bit of time here to wrap things up.
In the mean time, as long as I'm not run over by requests, you can
send me a (few) structure(s) off the list, and I'll be happy to
calculate the packing.

Best,

Tsjerk
