Dear All,
Version 2.4.2 of the CCP4 Molecular Graphics Program
(CCP4MG) has just been placed on the downloads page:
http://www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/~ccp4mg/download2/
This release features:
* A sequence viewer (Tools->Sequence viewer..), including:
o Multiple sequence alignment
o Highlight sections of structure by clicking on sequence.
o Local blastp search (if blast installed) and remote blast
search (EBI). Download of similar structures following search.
o Load alignment from external file in many formats.
* Speed-ups drawing ribbons
* Generally better handling of large structures and structures with
multiple NMR models.
* Download electron density from EDS (Uppsala).
* Electron density is transformed with model following superposition.
* Bug fixes (superpose selection problems, crashes)
* User can tell the program explicitly to use Zalman stereo
* More help for user in editing Picture Wizard generated scenes:
o The preferences dialog now informs if any display object
has a custom drawing style.
o The user can remove a custom drawing style and revert to
global preferences.
* Debugging (sometimes) possible on Windows. Dumps are created
under most crash circumstances.
This should help in tracing problem loading PDB files on some
Windows machines.
* Size of rendered images can be specified in inches and dpi.
* Ambient occlusion method in render.
* Structure coordinates can be transformed with a matrix which
applies to real coordinates or the current view.
Please report problems to [email protected].
Best Wishes,
CCP4MG
