NAExplor: A Software Tool for Managing and Analyzing Nucleic Acid Structure Files

Abstract

NAExplor is a software tool for converting coordinates files between the software packages AMBER, CHARMM, and XPLOR. In addition, it manages the conversion of NMR-derived distance restraints information from the MARDIGRAS program into the appropriate file formats used for input in AMBER, CHARMM, and XPLOR. Analyses of H-H distances in nucleic acid structures and calculations of torsion angles for nucleic acid backbone and riboses are also possible.
