YASARA View is available for free and contains all the functions you need to explore a macromolecular structure interactively. As a bonus, you get YASARA's innovative 3D engine, which is up to 35 times faster than what you usually know from OpenGL (see benchmarks ), you can load multiple structures at the same time, create publication-quality ray-traced images including labels, and program your own macros and Python plugins. Included is YASARA Movie, a player for multimedia presentations and tutorials created with any of the higher stages, as well as the YASARA Python module to simply 'import yasara' in your Python scripts.

Key features:

YASARA Dynamics contains YASARA Model and adds support for molecular simulations. In addition to YASARA's own force fields (NOVA, YAMBER) you can use other well known MD force fields like AMBER, and run accurate all-atom MD simulations in aqueous solution with Particle Mesh Ewald longrange electrostatics at twice the speed you know from other programs. YASARA Dynamics is not a "black box" with input and output files, but shows the MD simulation in real-time on screen. You can fully interact with the scene, pull atoms or whole molecules around and finally do the type of molecular modeling that Cyrus Levinthal already pioneered back in 1966 ("..do the same type of pulling and pushing in the computer that we can do with our hands while building actual models. ", cited from an article in Scientific American).

Key features:

• All features listed for YASARA View and YASARA Model above.
  
• Prepare a simulation: clean proteins, predict pKas, assign protonation states, fill the simulation cell with water.
• Ultrafast (Assembly language) molecular dynamics simulations and energy minimizations in non-periodic or periodic & triclinic crystal cells.
  
• AMBER and newly developed force fields (NOVA, YAMBER) included, define your own force fields.
• Accurate treatment of long-range electrostatic interactions with the Particle Mesh Ewald approach.
• Parallel and reproducible simulations on multiple CPUs and CPU cores with close to ideal speedups.
  
• Calculate energies, binding energies and solvation energies.
• Manipulate a simulation interactively: pull atoms or entire molecules around, fix and free atoms, add restraints, toggle force field terms.
• Show the electrostatic potential in the simulation cell, color surfaces accordingly.
  
• Run simulations at the touch of a button even in the presence of ligands, thanks to fully automatic force field parameter assignment for the General Amber Force Field (GAFF). Semi-empirical QM point charges are calculated using either AM1BCC or AutoSMILES, a newly developed approach for hi-speed assignment of RESP charges.
• Automatic correction of cis-peptide bonds or wrong stereoisomeres for homology model refinement.
• Geometry optimization and analysis with semi-empirical MNDO/AM1/PM3 quantum chemistry using YAPAC, a built-in customized derivative of MOPAC.
• Analyze trajectories for conformational changes etc.
  
• Read and write trajectories in SIM or XTC format.

This includes modules for NMR structure determination, prediction of protein structure and function, docking and drug design. YASARA Structure will become available this year. You can easily upgrade from one of the other stages by paying just the price difference. The NMR module is already available and in use today, please contact us for details.

The Twinset is a customized joint-distribution of WHAT IF and YASARA Dynamics or Structure. With over 1000 citations, WHAT IF is a widely used program for structure validation and modeling. In the Twinset, WHAT IF inherits YASARA's user interface, graphics engine, macro language, unlimited undo/redo etc, so that WHAT IF functions become easily accessible in Linux and Windows. The Twinset is not available for Mac OS X.

The Twinset is freely available for academic use and costs 1500 € / 2250 $ for unlimited commercial use per building (this fee is waived if you own a group leader license of YASARA Dynamics or Structure). In addition, you need 512MB RAM, 1GB of swap space and licenses for YASARA Dynamics or Structure and also WHAT IF. Click here for WHAT IF license details . Customers in Austria have to add 20% VAT.

To order the Twinset, just place a normal order for YASARA Dynamics and then request the Twinset upgrade from . If you already own YASARA, email us your YASARA serial number and WHAT IF user number.

Models@Home is a distributed computing environment that follows the spirit of the famous Seti@Home project, but is not tied to a specific application. Instead you can run all your favourite programs in parallel, without any need to modify or adapt them. The Models@Home screensaver allows to turn a heterogeneous Windows / Linux network into a uniform cluster.  At the CMBI , Models@Home is used for most protein modeling tasks, all YASARA force fields were developed with computer power provided by Models@Home. Models@Home is freely available including the source code.

Shutter glasses allow you to watch your molecules in true 3D with photorealistic image quality, thanks to YASARA's optimized graphics engine. We recommend shutter glasses from eDimensional, due to their incredible price/performance ratio. Order your glasses now for 100$ (first wireless pair) and 50$  (each additional pair) from eDimensional .
Notes: We are not affiliated with eDimensional, only contact us for YASARA specific support. Glasses require a CRT screen, they do not work with LCD/TFT screens. Stereo is only available in YASARA Model or above, glasses have been tested with NVIDIA Quadro cards under Linux and Windows, but in principle any card capable of quad-buffered OpenGL stereo that transmits sync signals via the DDC should work. YASARA also functions with glasses from NUVision, which are however much more expensive and do not use the DDC sync signal (i.e. do not automatically turn off when you put another window on top of the YASARA window). They may nevertheless be more comfortable if you wear them in addition to normal glasses.

The SpaceBall is a 3D input device that allows you to move and rotate molecules with six degrees of freedom: put your hand on top of the ball, then push and twist it as if you held the molecule in your hand. Operating together with a traditional mouse, the SpaceBall delivers a more efficient and balanced way to work. Find your SpaceBall at eBay or order directly from Connexion .

Notes: You need Linux and YASARA Model or above. We are not affiliated with Connexion, only contact us for YASARA specific support.

The Virtual Window is an autostereoscopic LCD/TFT screen that allows you to see 3D without any additional glasses. Just press a button to turn it back into a normal 2D screen. Order now for 1700$ (15", 1024x768 pixels, 65K colors) and 3500$ (17", 1280x1024 pixels, 16.7M colors) from Dimension Technologies .
Notes: The Virtual Window is the ideal choice if you do not have space on your desk for a CRT screen or if you work in a room too bright for shutter glasses. The screen works a bit like the grooved stereo images one often encounters, so you have to keep your head at the right spot to see 3D. The Virtual Window has been tested with NVIDIA Quadro cards under Linux and Windows. Any card capable of quad-buffered OpenGL stereo should work.
