Welcome to Ptools! We are a team of scientist mostly interested in theoretical chemistry, particularly in large complex formation. Part of what we do it to provide open-source software, webserver and libraries that help comprehend macromolecular assembly processes.

Here are some of the projects we are currently working on:

• PTools: molecular assembly/folding library in Python - (repo).

• Heligeom Webserver: A webserver for characterizing, manipulating and assembling structural units with a screw organization (repo).

• PTools legacy: legacy version of the PTools library written in C++ & Fortran with Python bindings (repo).

• Chantal PRÉVOST, CNRS, Scientific team leader,
• Benoist LAURENT, CNRS, development team leader (PTools library),
• Hubert Santuz, CNRS, development team leader (heligeom webserver),
• Charles ROBERT, CNRS.

We welcome contributions from the community! If you'd like to contribute to any of our projects, please follow these steps:
