I have a new product released in French since a few months and now release in
English and would like to know if the following presentation is acceptable
according to the CCL rules. Could you please let me know if I could announce
this program. I think a few functionnalities will be usefull for a lot of
persons handling proteins!
Thanks in advance

			" WINMGM"
A professional software package for a:
. Biochemist, crystallographer, molecular modeling specialist needing a great
visualization tool on his PC.
. Teacher or Professor willing to illustrate his lectures, or enable his
students to get a feeling for structural matters on biomolecules.

Major Functionalities :
. Manipulation and visualization tools for Proteins, Nucleic Acids, Lipids or
Organic molecules.
. Biomolecules specific tools enabling real time manipulation of high-grade
graphics (CPK, ribbons...).(1)
. Manipulation in relative or absolute coordinates of several molecules
(host-guest complexes, complex proteins and their sub-structures or units...).
. Construction and optimization tools for peptides and proteins: systematic
search using stereo-alphabet combinatorial methods, Monte Carlo calculations,
side chain optimization...
. Rendering tools providing complex representations of " workstation quality "
. Properties calculation: hydrophobic/ hydrophilic or electrostatic potentials
(2), interdistance maps, Ramachandran maps, solvent accessible surfaces...
