CLC Protein Workbench is a bioinformatics program providing a wide range of advanced protein sequence analyses. CLC Protein Workbench is based on the same user-friendly and integrated software environment as CLC Free Workbench.

This 2 x 2 weeks of fully functional demo includes a vast amount of advanced protein sequence analyses - all analyses are integrated in one single user-friendly and intuitive software application.

Some analyses are:

Alignments
Phylogenetics
Secondary protein structure prediction
Protein family analysis (PFAM)
BLAST
Dot plots
Hydrophobicity analyses
Searches on GenBank, Swiss-Prot, TrEMBL, and PubMed
Log of actions/analyses performed

Requirements:
256 MB RAM required
512 MB RAM recommended
768 x 1024 resolution recommended

Limitations:
2 x 2 weeks of fully functional demo

What's New in This Release:
Better secondary protein structure prediction. Improved 3D viewing of molecules; among others including simultanious viewing of sequence structures in 2D and 3D.
Greatly
enhanced web based BLAST.
Longer sequences can be BLASTed, the graphical user interface is improved, and the subsequent handling of search
results has been improved.
Enhanced BLAST on local databases.
The graphical user interface is improved, and the subsequent handling of search results has been improved significantly.
You can now save HMM models generated in the Pattern Discovery function (searching for unknown patterns) - this reduces time for future pattern discovery searched significantly.
Advanced and interactive view of four different
kinds of pairwise sequence comparisons: Gaps, Differences, Identity, Jukes Cantor distances*
