========================================================================
=====
The PHENIX developers are pleased to announce that the 1.3 general
release
version of PHENIX is now available. Binary installers for Linux, and
Mac OSX
platforms are available at the download site:
http://phenix-online.org/download/
This version of PHENIX includes tools for:
- Assessing data quality (phenix.xtriage)
- Includes the detection of twinning, tNCS, and missed symmetries
- Automated structure solution (phenix.autosol)
- Combines automated substructure solution (phenix.hyss) with phasing
(Phaser/SOLVE), substructure completion, phase improvement
(RESOLVE)
and fast initial model building (RESOLVE)
- Automated molecular replacement (phenix.automr)
- Maximum likelihood molecular replacement with Phaser
- Automated protein and DNA/RNA model building/rebuilding
(phenix.autobuild)
- Combines automated model building (RESOLVE), phase improvement
(RESOLVE)
and structure refinement (phenix.refine)
- Automated ligand fitting (phenix.ligandfit)
- Fitting a known ligand or screening against a library of the 200
most
common ligands
- Structure refinement (phenix.refine)
- Maximum likelihood targets, simulated annealing, TLS, constrained
occupancy refinement, f'/f'' refinement, water picking, anisotropic
B-factor refinement, twinned refinement, automatic treatment of
alternate conformations, and joint refinement against X-ray and
neutron
data
- Generation of ligand coordinates and restraints (phenix.elbow/
phenix.reel)
- Input formats include SMILES and PDB
- Restraints can be manipulated with the phenix.reel GUI

Commercial users interested in obtaining access to PHENIX should
visit the
PHENIX website for information about the PHENIX Industrial Consortium.
The development of PHENIX is principally funded by the National
Institute of
General Medical Sciences (NIH) under grant P01-GM063210. We also
acknowledge
the generous support of the members of the PHENIX Industrial Consortium.
