PROTMAP2D
Two-dimensional maps of contacts summarize interactions between amino acids in the structure. They reveal characteristic patterns of interactions between secondary and super-secondary structures and are very attractive for visual analysis. The overlap of the residue contact maps of two structures can be easily calculated, providing a sensitive measure of protein structure similarity. 
 

ModeRNA 
We developed a method for 3D homology modeling of RNA structures. It requires a pairwise sequence alignment and a structural template to generate a 3D structural model of the target RNA sequence via either a fully automated or script-based approaches. ModeRNA is capable of handling 115 different nucleotide modifications and bridging gaps using fragments derived from an extensive fragment library.
 

RNAmap2D
RNAmap2D is a software tool for calculation of contact and distance maps based on user-defined criteria, and to some extent, quantitative comparison of pairs or series of contact maps and visualization of the results.
 

FILTREST3D
Filtrest3D is a program for discrimination of a large number of alternative models of protein structure or protein-ligand structure against a set of restraints derived from low-resolution experimental analyses (such as cross-linking, mutagenesis, circular dichrosm etc.) as well as from computational predictions (e.g. solvent accessibility, amino acid contact maps).
 

PyRy3D
PyRy3D is a software tool for modeling of structures for large macromolecular complexes. It uses Monte Carlo simulation to sample conformational space and to identify the best fit of complex components structures into a density map. Complex building process is based on distance restraints derived from experiments. 
 

Statistical geometry algorithm implementation in Python 
The implementation of the statistical geometry in sequence (binary and quaternary) space algorithm written in Python.It is mainly applied in biology and sequence analysis in the context of evolution, e.g. for evaluating evolutionary models. The algorithm allows for checking divergence of a given sequence alignment. It allows you to check whether your sequences (RNA, DNA, protein) follow a tree-like pattern of divergence or a bundle-like pattern.
 

DARS-RNP and QUASI-RNP, potentials for protein-RNA docking
We developed two medium-resolution, knowledge-based potentials for scoring protein-RNA models obtained by docking: the quasi-chemical potential (QUASI-RNP) and the Decoys As the Reference State potential (DARS-RNP). Both potentials use a coarse-grained representation for both RNA and protein molecules and are capable of dealing with RNA structures with posttranscriptionally modified residues. In our tests that compared these methods to other published potentials, DARS-RNP showed the highest ability to identify native-like structures.


QRNAS
QRNAS is an extension of the AMBER simulation method with additional terms associated with explicit hydrogen bonds, co-planarity base pairs, backbone regularization, and custom restraints. QRNAS is capable of handling RNA, DNA, chimeras and hybrids thereof, and enables modeling of nucleic acids containing modified residues.
