Here's a bit of holiday fun: A Coot Speedrun! Pit your Coot skills
against the rest of the world!
I believe that many Coot users are unfamiliar with the ways in which
one can get stuff done fast in Coot. So how about a friendly
competition to stimulate discussion? Coot users are invited to fix-up a
structure using Coot, so that the R-factor from Refmac reaches
particular value.
In this first Coot Speedrun Challenge, the structure is the tutorial
model and
data, the target R-factor is 0.17 and R-free 0.20.
You are allowed to use your own general-purpose scripts, Curlew
scripts, custom toolbar buttons and key-bindings, but scripts to solve
building problems particular to this structure are not allowed.
You are allowed to pre-open the "Other Modelling Tools" dialog.
So that we can have a "winner" the competition will end shortly
after the "2021 CCP4 Study Weekend" - but of course we would be
interested in fast times for a while after that.
Post your timings to this thread. Or Twitter: #cootspeedrun
You will need to run Refmac from Coot (otherwise the timer script
won't know where to find the refmac log file).
You are allowed to copy the rnasa-1.8-all_refmac1.mtz file into the
current directory for easy access - the mtz file can be found in the
share/coot/data directory of your Coot binary distribution.
Click on the SpeedRun menu item in the main menubar to open the
Speedrun dialog. Keep an eye on the dialog, it will let you know when you
have finished.
If has some takers, then I will make another "Map" from different
problematic structure and other assessment criteria will be
introduced.
