Additional Programs (Plugins)
The program files can be found in the "PLUGINS" directory (*.DLL files). They will be automatically
recodnized by the main application. You can launch these programs from "Plugins" menu tab within the MB's interface

To download new plugins or update the installed versions please use automatic update function (you will have to
register the program, see here). Otherwise please check regulary the official homepage to make sure
not to miss some important updates.
If you want to develop your own plugin for MB please read this document.

|
 |
HELIX.DLL
Description: A basic alpha-helix analysis tool (draws spirals and calculates
the hydrophobicity graph)
