An Overview of Moirai and Associates

An overview of the system used to generate and view compounds and compute with reactions. It includes Moirai proper, currently consisting of Klotho and Atropos; databases ( SwissProt and ENZYME ); a text processor ( LaTeX ); a PostScript viewer ( ghostview ); a molecule display program ( RasMol ); a commercial program to generate approximate three-dimensional coordinates from stereochemical information for small compounds ( CONCORD ); a commercial symbolic and numerical mathematics package ( Maple ); our data-management system for compound entry and verification (chubby); and the World-Wide Web manifestation of Klotho using Mosaic. All programs are public domain unless otherwise noted. Access to chubby is via a graphical user interface programmed with SUIT . Communication and data transfer (arrows) among the components is performed by Perl scripts; all data, queries, and coordination of processing resides in Moirai, which is implemented in Prolog . For references to all the tools see here .
