We are proud to announce the first release of source code and binary for Linux on i386 platform. Binary for windows following soon!

Some Details of the project:
This work is based upon a Diplomarbeit written on "Proteinfaltung und Alignment
von Strukturen". It is an SmartEiffel (smarteiffel.loria.fr) implementation of protein folding in the twodimensional Hydrophobic-Polar Model.

This software implements a brute force algorithm and is therefore considered a prototype for experimental computations on protein folding. I stress this: the algorithm has very long running times, even for short instances of problem input.

On the other hand it yields interesting results, e. g. unique optimal foldings.
Which is otherwise impossible to achieve.

As SmartEiffel evolves the goal of this project is to evolve, too. Planned is an GUI interface to present the resulting optimal foldings.
