We are proud to announce the public release of a new version of MBN Explorer, a multi-purpose computer code, which allows to model molecular systems of varied level of complexity. MBN Explorer for academic institutions is distributed free of charge and includes precompiled binaries for Linux, Windows and MacOSX platforms. The development of this version of MBN Explorer has been completed by Gennady Sushko, Sergey Kazenyuk, Ilia A. Solov'yov, Alexander V. Yakubovich, and Andrey V. Solov'yov.
MBN Explorer 1.1 has the following advantages over MBN Explorer 1.0:
