------ OUT NOW ! ------
The latest version of the CCP4 Suite for protein crystallography is
now available on the CCP4 anonymous ftp server (ccp4a.dl.ac.uk or
148.79.112.134 - cd pub/ccp4). The CCP4 Suite is mirrored in San Diego
at rosebud.sdsc.edu (directory /pub/sdsc/xtal/CCP4 ) and in Japan
at ftp2.protein.osaka-u.ac.jp (directory /mirror/ccp4/ccp4 ), but
please allow some time for the mirror sites to be upgraded to the new
version.
The suite is available free to non-profit institutions, subject to a
completed license form being returned to the CCP4 secretary. A
charge is made to commercial users who should contact the CCP4
secretary at ccp4@dl.ac.uk to make arrangements. Further details on
obtaining the Suite can be found on the CCP4 web site
http://www.dl.ac.uk/CCP/CCP4/main.html
GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE
The Suite now includes the Graphical User Interface "ccp4i" as an
integral part. Files reside in the sub-directory $CCP4/ccp4i
Provided you have an up-to-date version of tcl/tk/blt, ccp4i should
be ready to run after the normal CCP4 installation (ccp4i.setup has
been included in the main ccp4.setup). If you don't have Tcl/Tk,
there is a suitable version in the directory pub/ccp4/tcltk
AUTOMATIC DATA HARVESTING
The programs SCALA, TRUNCATE, MLPHARE, REFMAC and RESTRAIN now
produce data harvesting files for ultimate structure deposition,
see $CHTML/harvesting.html for details. This code relies on new
library routines; in case of difficulty see the --with-rxdispencer
and --disable-ccif options to configure described in $CCP4/INSTALL.html
The release also includes the following new programs:
* MOLREP: automated program for molecular replacement, from Alexei Vagin
* OASIS: program for breaking phase ambiguity in OAS or SIR, from Quan Hao
* RWCONTENTS: promoted from unsupported.
* SC: program to analyse shape complementarity of molecular interfaces
* T_SHIFT: part of ARP/wARP suite v5.0.
Other highlights include:
* Major new versions of AMORE, RASMOL, SFCHECK, ARP_WARP (renamed
from ARPP)
* New library libccif from Peter Keller for reading/writing mmCIF files,
held in $CCP4/lib/ccif
* Other new libraries harvlib (for data harvesting) and cciflib (plays
a role similar to rwbrook for mmCIF files)
* Updated xdl_view library
* More general documentation, see $CHTML/INDEX.html
Plus many, many minor changes....
Details of all the changes can be found in the CHANGES file in the
top-level directory ($CCP4), and in $CCP4/html/CHANGESinV4_0.html.
