Dear Colleagues, Have you ever heard of Auto-Rickshaw?
Auto-Rickshaw is the EMBL Hamburg automated structure determination platform, which is now available as a web service. Try it out and solve your structure in minutes. The EMBL-Hamburg beamline user have been successfully using this system for a little over three years. Now, for the new release with a lot of added functionalities, we are happy to announce that Auto-Rickshaw can be accessed by anybody in the Structural Biology community. The Auto-Rickshaw phasing protocols include SAD, SIRAS, MAD, MR and MRSAD. There are two versions: a "beamline version" and an "advanced version". The beamline version is geared towards speed so as to deliver the results in the shortest amount of time whereas the advanced version can be used for more complete model building if the resolution of the data permits. For more detailed information visit http://www.embl-hamburg.de/Auto-Rickshaw The Auto-Rickshaw server is freely accessible to users who have the necessary software licences. Academic usage requires free of charge on-online registration at the same web site. Further inquiries can be made to Santosh Panjikar at [EMAIL PROTECTED] We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the developers of the various crystallographic programs for their kind permission to invoke their software within Auto-Rickshaw. We also gratefully acknowledge the feedback from the EMBL-Hamburg beamline users and everybody who provided test data.
