EGAD
EGAD is a protein design application written by Navin Pokala. It was used to generate the excellent correlations found in Navin's papers (1,2) but is no longer maintained by the Handel Lab. It is a free, open source project written entirely in C with documentation, including many examples, by Navin. Using the stand-alone EGAD program does not require any programming knowledge.
While Navin may be willing to answer questions about his program, current members of the Handel Lab favor EGAD Library, an open source C++ implementation of the EGAD forcefield.
Documentation for EGAD and links to its source code can be found here.
EGAD Library
The current protein design software used in the Handel Lab is EGAD Library. Based on the forcefield found in Navin's implementation, EGAD Library is an object oriented library of code, written in C++, for the development of new protein design applications.
While the library is intended for end users with programming experience, there are a number of applications already written by the Handel Lab for most common protein design situations. These will be available for non-programmers to use, as well.
