This site is under constant constructionThe molecule of the day is: GlycineGlycine is an amino acid, and a fundamental component of protein. It is the smallest amino acid that is found in proteins, and it is widely noted for its flexibility. This flexibility results from the lack of a side chain on the alpha (amide) carbon. Due to this flexibility, glycine is commonly found in the loop and hinge regions of proteins, which in turn makes these regions of the proteins flexible with respect to the other elements of protein structure. Because of this property, glycine is a key and crucial amino acid to the correct functioning of protein molecules. other names: 56-40-6 Aminoacetic acid C00037 Gly Glycine related molecule names: 107-43-7 Betaine C00719 Glycine betaine N,N,N-Trimethylglycine Trimethylaminoacetate Trimethylammonioacetate 106-57-0 2,5-Diazacyclohexane-1,4-dione 2,5-Dioxopiperazine 2,5-Piperazinedione C02777 Diketopiperazine Glycine anhydride .alpha.-Guanidinoacetic acid 352-97-6 Acetic acid, [(aminoiminomethyl)amino]- Betacyamine Betasyamine GLYCINE, N-AMIDINO- GLYCOCYAMINE Glycine, N-(aminoiminomethyl)- Glykocyamin Guanidine, (carboxymethyl)- Guanidineacetic acid Guanidinoacetic acid Guanidoacetic acid Guanidylacetic acid Guanyl glycine NSC1901 .alpha.,.alpha.',.alpha.''-Trimethylaminetricarboxylic acid 139-13-9 Acetic acid, nitrilotri- Aminotriacetic acid Chel 300 Complexon I Glycine, N,N-bis(carboxymethyl)- Hampshire NTA acid N,N-Bis(carboxymethyl)glysine NCI-C02766 NSC2121 NTA Nitrilo-2,2',2''-triacetic acid Nitrilotriacetic acid Titriplex I Triglycine Triglycollamic acid Trilon A Versene NTA acid WLN: QV1N1VQ1VQ molecule directory: 3286

Molecule News
updated Tue Aug 19 19:45:09 EDT 2008Some facts: The Molecules website contains more than 4 million small molecule structure files in pdb format, and molecular graphics representations. About 50 million molecules are still in the pipe, and they are expected to appear here over the course of the next few weeks and months. The pdb format is readable by common FOSS molecule viewer software, such as RasMol and PyMOL. In due course, we plan to provide high quality structures via energy minimization refinement, and additional resources.
Molecules@gnu-darwin.org is founded in the spirit of free software, open source, and public access. It is hoped that access to these files will be a wonderful community resource for science education, research, and entertainment as well. We are looking for investment, funding, or sponsorship in order to expedite and expand this work, and lead the field, with an eye towards an advanced, complete, synthetic, structural, and informatical bioorganome. Meanwhile, the site is already an exceptional lab resource, and molecular catalog, providing the means and building blocks towards additional novel structures. We aim to be the best.
The structural biology, protein crystallography, and molecular graphics talent that is building the Molecules archive is available to work for you in a contract or consulting arrangement. Wide-ranging expertise is available. Molecules@gnu-darwin.org is built entirely with FOSS, free and open source software, GNU-Darwin OS, and it is under the aegis of The GNU-Darwin Distribution. Here is a link to the Distribution résumé. Our founder is an X-ray laboratory admin for the Department of Biophysics and Biophysical Chemistry of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. You can also read his CV. We would like to build a community around this website, and we are looking for volunteers and collaborators to help. Regarding any aspect of the work of this site, please feel free to contact us, molecules@gnu-darwin.org, with gdmolecules in the subject line. Cheers!
