Hi all,
After tirelessly serving the scientific community with (mostly) beautiful maps
for two decades, the Uppsala Electron Density Server (EDS;
http://eds.bmc.uu.se/) is now reaching the end of its life (in fact, it has
been living on borrowed time for several years already). Some time in 2017 it
will therefore be "phased" out and join the choir invisible (despite its
beautiful plumage).
The good news is that much of the EDS functionality (and in particular the
delivery of map and mtz files, as well as a much better 3D viewer) is now
provided by the Protein Data Bank in Europe (PDBe; http://pdbe.org/).
There is a short write-up that explains what this means for users who just
want to look at maps, for users who want to download files, for users of
software that retrieves data from EDS, and for developers of such software
(incl. URLs for map, mtz and other relevant files on the PDBe website) at:

Toodle pip!
