BioShell toolkit
BioShell has been designed as a suite of programs designed for pre- and post-processing in protein structure modeling protocols. The package provides a convenient set of tools for in conversion between various sequence and structure formats. It is also possible to calculate simple properties of protein conformations.
The idea, the BioShell is based on, is to enhance Unix shell (e.g. bash) with additional commands, which can be easily combined not only with shell scripts, but also with other scripting languages, as Python or Perl.
Recently the BioShell package has been rewritten in Java language. Now it is much more convenient to keep BioShell platform-independent. Moreover, the development process is faster and more reliable. From the user point of view, the only change concern the names of the BioShell components and the way how they are invoked.
BioShell scripting modules
In the newest edition, BioShell has been refactored into a library of modules for biomolecular modeling. The modules can be combined with powerful Python scripting language into a very flexible modeling platform
