LoopTK is a C++ toolkit for representing, modeling and manipulating proteins, protein fragments, and protein loops.
It has been designed to be easy to use and powerful at the same time.

LoopTK is developed and maintained by the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at Stanford University.

Here are a few screenshots of the toolkit in action:
