Welcome to SPADEweb.org.

The SPADEweb organization bridges the gap between software developers and users in the medical, agricultural, and environmental sciences. This group supports and extends a community-based biomolecular structure software package called SPADE™, the Structural Proteomics Application Development Environment. SPADE puts computational structural biology within reach; available applications, tools, and datasets are listed, downloaded, and launched, all with just a few mouse clicks.

NEW: A Windows Installer is now available!!! Click here to download now. Instructions for use are at the bottom of the Installation page.

This infrastructure provides an easy-to-program molecular system object with a tightly-associated molecular viewer object. To demonstrate the deployment of free software applications, SPADE offers SequencePad™, a useful multiple sequence alignment tool. Illustrating not-free application deployment, RAVE™ is an organizer for chemical probing experiments, which provide chemical verification for modeled structures.

SPADE and SequencePad™ have been released under the liberal BSD license, to support interaction between each of the academic, government, and commercial sectors. A no-cost, supported version of RAVE™ will soon be available for viewing the results of chemical modification experiments. A commercial version provides tools for conducting new experiments, and will also become available as kinks are worked out of the deployment and installation.
