HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE

 
Computer Hardware: 
The center has established major computational resources involving
  • DEC Alpha servers
  • IRIX 6.5 servers on SGI Workstations
  • Intel LINUX Workstations
  • Windows NT servers
  • CD/DVD server
  • About 120 IBM and MAC PCs spread over the LAN
The LAN is linked to the Internet through a 2 Mbps leased line provided by VSNL. 

BIC, NII is also connected to other DICs as well as INTERNET through DBT-VPN network.
Computer Software:
The center has a large collection of commercial and public domain softwares covering a wide range of applications like sequence and structure analysis, molecular modelling 
and simulations, structure prediction and drug design.
  • SeqWeb :  Web established version of GCG Package
  • MSI :        Molecular modelling package ( INSIGHTII, Biopolymer, Discover, Homology)
  • Catalyst :  Package from MSI for drug design.
  • MOIL :     Molecular Mechanics and Molecular Dynamics simulations.
