Download Scorecons and PDB code

The scorecons server was something I wrote at the end of my PhD at UCL in 2001. Immediately afterwards I moved to a different lab to do something unrelated. For this reason, I did not produce a convenient downloadable package, license agreement or anything like that. However, I am happy for academics to use the code as it stands.

Below is a link to a tar.gz file containing perl code from my UCL days, which includes the cgi and scorecons scripts as well as a set of libraries for reading and manipulating PDB files. The scorecons program is in the bin/ directory and makes use of libraries in the include/ directory and substitution matrices in the data/ directory. To get the scorecons to work, you will have to change a few globals at the start of the program. If you know perl, it should be fairly self-explanatory with the help of my perl coding conventions.

Note: I cannot offer any support for this software because I have not used it myself for a long time. However, more than twenty people have successfully unpacked the source code, tweaked it and used it, so hopefully you should be no problems. Good luck!
