Hi Qing Lu, try Autorickshaw: http://www.embl-hamburg.de/Auto-Rickshaw/ It can perform the complete structure solution procedure if the quality of your data is sufficient and I consider it very user-friendly, especially for beginners . Regards, Uli Hi All, I am new to protein

Minor correction: SHELX software are not part of CCP4 but if you have them installed as part of your crystallograhic software, you can call them from the CCP4 GUI. You can obtain the SHELX suite free to academic labs from Ggeorge Sheldrickbe Email George Sheldrick. George M. Sheldrick

Dear Qing Lu, Now that several suggestions, both ccp4 and non-ccp4, have been made, may I suggest that you (also) try autoSHARP, available free of charge at http://www.globalphasing.com/sharp/ It includes the invocation of SHELXD to solve the substructure, and takes

I second autoSHARP/SHARP. It makes great initial maps, and once you get it running, it is totally worth it.

I don't like the site finding option in autosharp, takes too long in most of my cases. So my approach is locate sites via SHELX, then feed them into Sharp. Sorry Gerard :-) Jürgen On May 20, 2010, at 10:02 PM, Jeremiah Farelli wrote: I second autoSHARP/SHARP. It makes great initial maps,

CCP4 way: locate the Se sites with SHELX (if you use the CCP4I gui it's technically a ccp4 program :-) ) Try using only your peak data set first. If you can't locate your sites with the single wavelength then add remote (DAD) and if that doesn't work go MAD. non-ccp4 way run hkl2map as frontend

First, you will need CCP4 installed and set up properly. You will also need to know your protein sequence. Put the latter into a text file (FASTA format will do). Next, download the file Elves from: http://ucxray.berkeley.edu/~jamesh/elves/download.html then type: chmod a+x Elves Elves
