This is a full download of the Proteax toolkit for 32- and 64-bit Windows and Linux. Comes with language bindings for Python, Pascal, and C/C++ (bindings for .NET and Java available on request).

    The download includes a trial license valid for at least 75 days from the day of download.
    The Windows download is a self-extracting archive in EXE format. If you don't want to run the self-extracting code you can unpack the archive with 7-zip. The only thing you may miss when you unpack the archive manually is a desktop shortcut to the Proteax home directory.
    Please note - there is currently no installer for Proteax Core. Consult the download's "Install_and_Wrapper_Guide.pdf" document for installation instructions. This product is suitable only for developers and people comfortable with a command line. If you are looking for a quick test of Proteax you should try the spreadsheet version instead.
    The ProteaxAdmin (modification database administrator) and PlnEditor (simple Protein Line Notation editor) applications can however be run directly without installation as soon as you have unpacked the downloaded archive.

Please if you want to try Proteax in your database.
