Dear All,
We are happy to announce the release of ARP/wARP version 7.1.
Please visit http://www.arp-warp.org for details and software download.
The major implementations and improvements are:
• A prototype of the molecular graphics ARP/wARP front-end, allowing the
display of molecules and electron densities.
• A prototype version of the new module for building poly-nucleotides
(DNA or RNA).
• Improved and faster protein chain tracing with higher performance at
lower resolution.
• The loop building as well as helix/strand building are now also
inherent parts of protein model building, resulting in enhanced model
completeness.
• Refinement procedures during automated model building have been
enhanced in the new versions of our preferred refinement engine, REFMAC,
notably including the implementation of 'conditional restraints'.
• Direct use of experimental single-wavelength anomalous diffraction
data (SAD) during model building is now also possible.
• Improved performance of automated ligand building.
• Supported computer platforms are Mac powerpc, Mac Intel and Linux
(including 32 and 64-bit versions and itanium).
Merry Xmas and Happy New Year!
Victor and Tassos on behalf of the ARP/wARP developers' team.
