Dear CCP4 users,

I'm developing a crystal structure viewer/modeler program "Que",
which works in the Windows platform.
Please download from below and try it out!

http://www.biochem.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~ishitani/que/index-en.html

In the present version, only the viewer functions are implemented,
however, I'm developing model building functions now.
Please send questions, suggestions, and requests about Que to
ishitani@biochem.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp. 

Functions implemented in current version (0.5beta)

* Display proteins and nucleic acids
  . Supported input format is PDB. 
  . simple stick model 
  . main-chain trace (Calpha or phosphate backbone) 
  . ball-and-stick model 
  . CPK model 
* Functions as a molecular viewer 
  . Residue selection by clicking 
  . Residue selection by chain and residue numbers 
  . Change or create new display for the selected residues 
  . Display symmetric molecules 
  . Display unit cell 
  . Hardware stereo support 
  . Display the distance between two atoms 
  . Dump/restore the state to/from the file (workspace) 
  . Move/rotate selected residues 
* Display electron-density maps
  . Supported input formats are CCP4 (type2), X-PLOR/CNS (ascii), and BRIX 
  . Mesh display of the isoelectric surfaces of electron-density maps.
  . Can display the electron density of the arbitrary (cubic) region. 

With regards,
