Description:
Researchers at UCSD have produced bioinformatics middleware
for working with protein and nucleic acid macromolecular
structure data stored in the new standard mmCIF format
now being supported by the Protein Data Bank. The software
will be very useful to researchers in basic and applied
research in biology, biochemistry, pharmacology, medical
research, molecular biology and protein chemistry. The
toolkit contains software for parsing mmCIF files, loading
the molecular structure data into a relational database,
translating the data into XML formatted files, and running
an OMG standard LSR/MMS CORBA server. The software is
written entirely in Java.
Keywords: PDB, protein, database, mmCIF, CORBA, Java,
