New Core Monomer Set for HELM on GitHub
The Pistoia Alliance Hierarchical Editing Language for Macromolecules (HELM) project team is pleased to announce the publication of a curated library of monomers onto GitHub. Monomers are the building blocks of biomolecules and HELM adopters need to decide what monomers they want to use very early in their journey with HELM. Until now there […]
HELM is now a FAIR standard
Public information is only useful if it is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR). The Pistoia Alliance was pleased to organise with the support of our friends at the Hyve the recent FAIR workshop in Utrecht, and is committed to promoting FAIR principles among the life science community. Fairsharing.org provides a resource that allows scientists […]
The Pistoia Alliance and Scilligence Announce HELM Web Editor
The Pistoia Alliance and Scilligence Corporation are pleased to announce the release of the HELM Web Editor which brings HELM’s industry standard biomolecular representation to the browser, greatly enhancing the deployability of the technology for its adopters.
The Pistoia Alliance and quattro research GmbH announce ambiguity support for HELM
The Pistoia Alliance and quattro research GmbH are pleased to announce the release of a major new extension to the HELM notation standard and toolkit. The new functionality enables HELM to support the representation of biomolecules with some structural uncertainty or ambiguity.
RFI published: HELM Web-based Editor
The HELM (Hierarchical Editing Language for Macromolecules) 2.0 project has today published an RFI requesting estimates for the creation of a web-based editor.
HELM editor: free at last!
The Pistoia Alliance HELM project has made two major announcements that help cement the reputation of HELM as the de-facto standard for describing and working with complex macromolecular structures. Firstly, HELM users can now take advantage of free MarvinBeans 5.0 licenses for the HELM toolkit. Secondly, RDKit is now HELM-enabled, making it a valuable addition to the extensive range of open source HELM-enabled tools.
Pistoia Alliance partners with quattro research GmbH to implement “Ambiguous HELM”
Munich, October 14th, 2015 – The Pistoia Alliance, a global alliance of life science companies, vendors, publishers, and academic groups, has selected quattro research GmbH to implement the HELM 2.0 project (“Ambiguous HELM”). This initiative will enable HELM to represent biomolecules in which some aspects of the structural composition or assembly are not fully determined. […]
