The PyRy3D Software (copyright (c) 2014 by IIMCB and UAM), including associated data and 
documentation (referred to collectively as PyRy3D) has been developed by the contributing 
researchers (referred to collectively as PyRy3D Developers) in the Laboratory of Structural Bioinformatics 
and Protein Engineering headed by Prof. Janusz M. Bujnicki at the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology 
in Warsaw (IIMCB) and the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Faculty of Biology, Adam Mickiewicz
University in Poznan (UAM).

SimRNAPyRy3D has been developed through support of a variety of funding sources, including the Polish Ministry of 
Science and Higher Education grant N N301 123138 and UMO-2012/05/N/NZ2/01652 to JMK, and by the European Research Council
(StG grant RNA+P=123D) to JMB. JMB has been supported by the "Ideas for Poland" fellowship from the Foundation for 
Polish Science.
Some calculations have been run in Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center.
