Re: [ccp4bb] Crystallographic Breakthrough - DarkMatter Version 1.0

[Frank von Delft]

I'm pretty sure Coot has been displaying it all along.  In the early 
days it displayed it much better, I must say, which is why it tended to 
crash.

Maybe the next version of coot as well as pymol/ Raster3D could also display
virtual particles. This would really flashily push the quality of our models,
especially on the title pages of the electronic versions of journals. There
could even be a special July-14th-mode
(http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:DESYNebelkammer.jpg&filetimestamp=20090223134909).

Cheers, Tim

Dear Ethan,

I would really really like to enhance all my PDB files, but I am
concerned I will create a black hole in my hard drive. I hope you
can convince me of the safety of your tool, thx

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
