The importance of secondary structure prediction to bioinformatics, modeling and structure prediction cannot be overstated. In a somewhat recent paper by Palopoli... - http://rosettadesigngroup.com/blog...
Pymol, especially back when I needed to use viewers a lot. VMD is the one I have used the most

@joerg - I tried to keep it to freeware, but if you know a really good commercial one please add it in the comments

By "we" you mean Jmol - right ? I always wanted keyboard shortcuts for Jmol applets, the kind you have in Google Reader, I think I read a post about this a couple of weeks ago, I'll try to find it. Right now that's what bothers me most in Jmol

Nice list. Sequence-based fold-recognition has become so accurate I almost forget about this approach altogether. I wonder how well TM-align would work as a search engine http://zhang.bioinformatics.ku.edu/TM-alig...

Question: For ages I refused to join Facebook. Now the pressure is on. Should I surrender and join? Do you get an added value from Facebook that you can't get from FriendFeed? What's your take on FB?
Facebook is basically yet another social networking, and not one of the best ones at that. All sorts of privacy and operation issues. You should proabably use it for the same reason I use MS-Word. MS-Word is terrible, but most people I interact with use it, and it would be almost impossible for me to do certain things in my job without resorting to Word once in a while. You'd be happy to know that Facebook is not quite as bad. :)

MS-Word wastes my time in many other ways. Yes, I forgot about the spam thing in Facebook.

Deleted my account a while ago - tired of deleting invites to install lots of useless applications :). However, I didn't have a huge network on Fb - wrong side of Atlantic.

I've had the same question, and I finally decided no. I have enough to keep up with without adding the extremely noisy, cumbersome, and closed facebook to the mix. There's no point joining unless I'm going to participate, and I don't want to get beset by the info-harvesting "apps" that pass for participation on that platform. I think they'll open up, eventually, anyways.

If you are the "social media" liking kind..jump in..but if you havent yet got an account you probably are not..so dont bother

I don't get anything from Facebook on the information and knowledge front, other than staying in touch with old friends who are not anywhere else (and family). But that's not a bad thing
- Deepak Singh
facebook is one of the best current platforms, just behind twitter, with friendfeed as best - the tradeoff for each is excellence of features versus more widespread adoption
