Tools

Tools available in the SPADE download include a molecular viewer, a sequence alignment algorithm capable of fold-recognition searches, and a fully-automated multiple-structure alignment toolkit. SPADE MolecularSystem class objects carry graphical data for the molecular viewer so that rendering is easily saved with project data. A pseudo-sidechain calculator was constructed that reduces the complexity of many spatial algorithms, and a built-in search algorithm (FutamuraHash) rapidly queries atoms and residues for others in close proximity. These tools are available at the SPADE command prompt. Some of these modules have not been documented yet, but they're in there.
