BCL::Commons Academic License provides free access to an open-source C++ library for biological molecule simulation, developed by Vanderbilt University’s Meiler Lab. Tailored for non-commercial research, it offers tools for protein structure prediction from sparse data, small molecule alignment (e.g., BCL::MolAlign), fragment-based modeling, and virtual screening, enabling cutting-edge studies in structural biology and cheminformatics. Key features include:
- Modular, extensible design for academic customization.
- BCL::MolAlign for superior 3D ligand alignment.
- Support for cryo-EM density map fitting and neural network scoring.
Academic users (full-time at non-profit institutions) may license free after affiliation verification via online process at meilerlab.org.
