A couple of buccaneer releases have gone by since I last made an
announcement:
release 0.7.2:
- new 'correlation mode' gives better results after MR or when
completing an initial model.
- sequenced fragments are now renumbered to match the position in the
final sequence.
release 0.7.3:
- the core regions of long sequenced fragments now become 'immutable',
preserving them from being modified when running multiple cycles or
extending an existing model.
- buccaneer is less fussy about input PDB files, and in particular it
now works fine on files with missing CRYST1 lines.
- hard-to-trigger bugs in -join and -correct fixed.
Model completion is now comparable to, or occasionally better than other
programs in favorable cases. However, what is a 'favorable case' varies
depending on which software you use, so it is worth trying several model
building programs. It only takes 30 seconds to start another job.
