WHAT IF software



WHAT IF is a computer program used in a wide variety of in silico macromolecular structure research fields such as:

The software was initiated in 1987 at the University of Groningen. Most of its development took place in the period 1989-2000 at the EMBL in Heidelberg. Lately the software is being maintained at the CMBI in Nijmegen. It is available for in-house use, or as free servers. Its best known use has been the detection of many millions (often small, but sometimes catastrophic) errors in PDB files.
