DRAGON protein modelling tool

DRAGON is a protein modelling tool using Distance Geometry. It was developed at the Division of Mathematical Biology of the National Institute for Medical Research in London between 1993 and 1996. DRAGON attempts to predict the tertiary structure of a small soluble protein, given its sequence, the secondary structure and possibly a set of interresidue distance restraints. If the structures of some of the sequences in the multiple alignment is known, then you can attempt comparative modelling. DRAGON communicates with you through a simple command-line interface which is used to specify parameter values and input filenames.
