:OsiriX is an image processing software dedicated to DICOM images (.dcm / .DCM extension) produced by medical equipment (MRI, CT, PET, PET-CT, ...) and confocal microscopy (LSM and BioRAD-PIC format). It can also read many other file formats: TIFF (8,16, 32 bits), JPEG, PDF, AVI, MPEG and Quicktime. It is fully compliant with the DICOM standard for image comunication and image file formats. OsiriX is able to receive images transferred by DICOM communication protocol from any PACS or medical imaging modality (STORE SCP - Service Class Provider, STORE SCU - Service Class User, and Query/Retrieve) . OsiriX has been specifically designed for navigation and visualization of multimodality and multidimensional images: 2D Viewer, 3D Viewer, 4D Viewer (3D series with temporal dimension, for example: Cardiac-CT) and 5D Viewer (3D series with temporal and functional dimensions, for example: Cardiac-PET-CT). The 3D Viewer offers all modern rendering modes: Multiplanar reconstruction (MPR), Surface Rendering, Volume Rendering and Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP). All these modes support 4D data and are able to produce image fusion between two different series (for example: PET-CT). Osirix is at the same time a DICOM PACS workstation for medical imaging and an image processing software for medical research (radiology and nuclear imaging), functional imaging, 3D imaging, confocal microscopy and molecular imaging. :

http://blanco.biomol.uci.edu/mpex/
Software which predicts topology and other features of membrane proteins through hydropathy plots based on thermodynamic and biological principles. This version of MPEx uses two types of hydropathy scales: Experiment-based whole-residue partitioning scales and experiment-based biological partitioning scales. The whole-residue partitioning scales predict the transmembrane (TM) segments of membrane proteins of known structure. The biological scale utilizes current knowledge of the code the Sec61 translocon to identify TM segments. MPEx is a Java program (not a Java applet) deployed using Java Web Start, which is part of the Java Runtime Environment.

http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/html/cbuccaneer.html
Software which performs statistical chain tracing by identifying connected alpha-carbon positions using a likelihood-based density target. The target distributions are generated by a simulation calculation using a known reference structure for which calculated phases are available. The success of the method is dependent on the features of the reference structure matching those of the unsolved work structure. For almost all cases, a single reference structure can be used, with modifications automatically applied to the reference structure to match its features to the work structure.

http://www.sci.utah.edu/software/fluorender.html
Interactive rendering tool for confocal microscopy data visualization. Combines rendering of multi-channel volume data and polygon mesh data, where properties of each dataset can be adjusted independently and quickly. Designed for neurobiologists, allowing them to better visualize confocal data from fluorescently-stained brains, but it is also useful for other biological samples. Features include feature tracking, 3D measurement tools, multiple render modes for multi-channel confocal data, and volume paint selection and segmentation.

A software package and server used to identify and characterize proteins from primary sequence databases using mass spectrometry data. Mascot integrates peptide mass fingerprinting, sequence querying, and MS/MS ion searching in order to search for proteins in databases like SwissProt, NCBInr, EMBL EST divisions, contaminants, and cRAP. If a license is purchased, users may: search data sets that exceed the 1200 spectrum limit of the free version; set up automated, high throughput work; add and edit proteins and quantification methods; and search a preferred collection of sequence databases.
