Dear colleagues,

RINalyzer allows the interactive analysis and visualization
of residue interaction networks (RINs) derived from
3D protein structures. For each RIN loaded into the
network visualization software Cytoscape, the corresponding
molecular 3D structure is displayed simultaneously in UCSF Chimera.

RINalyzer provides a number of valuable methods to identify
structurally and functionally important protein residues and
to explore the impact of residue substitutions. RINalyzer also
computes a comprehensive set of weighted network centrality
measures and supports the comparison of protein structures.

In addition, the command-line tool RINerator can be used
to generate RINs from protein structures in the PDB.
Precomputed RINs are available for download from RINdata.

RINalyzer works as plugin with Cytoscape 2.7.x and 2.8.x.
