Hi to all on ccp4bb: What better day to announce the availability of a breakthrough technique in macromolecular crystallography?
Given recent discussion and in particular James Holton's suggestion that the problem of disordered sidechains is a problem akin to the difficulty of describing dark matter and dark energy... I am happy to announce a new crystallographic tool that can improve your model by accounting for an often-neglected physical property. A detailed explanation, references, and a preliminary implementation of the program can be downloaded from http://skuld.bmsc.washington.edu/DarkMatter -- Ethan A Merritt Karmic Diffraction Project Fine crystallography since April 1, 2011 "What goes around, comes around - usually as a symmetry equivalent"
