CLC Protein Workbench provides a wide range of advanced protein analyses, and is based on the same user-friendly and integrated software environment as CLC Free Workbench.
CLC Protein Workbench is a software solution for scientists and lab researchers working with biochemistry.
CLC Protein Workbench creates a software environment enabling users to make a large number of advanced protein sequence analyses, combined with smooth data management, and excellent graphical viewing and output options.
CLC Main Workbench is available on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux platforms.
Here are some key features of "CLC Protein Workbench":

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
Minor improvements:
· Translate to protein creates sequence lists as results when more than 10 sequences are produced. This greatly improves performance when translating large amounts of proteins
· It is now possible to specify the number formatting in tables in the View Preferences.
Bug fixes:
· Fixed: Downloading of protein sequences from NCBI fails.
· Fixed: Opening external files (e.g. pdf files or Word documents) with spaces in the file name does not work on Windows.
