The Phenix developers are pleased to announce that version 1.15 of Phenix is
now available (build 1.15.2-3472). Binary installers for Linux, Mac OSX, and
Windows platforms, and the source installer, are available at the download site:
http://phenix-online.org/download/
Highlights for this version:
New and improved tools
- New algorithm for phenix.map_to_model is faster and builds longer chains
- phenix.trace_and_build can build protein into maps at resolutions as low as
4.5 A
- phenix.fix_insertions_deletions can build models in places where the map is
poor
- phenix.refine_ca_model for optimizing C-alpha only models
- phenix.comparama for generating Kleywegt-like plots that show how residues
moved in the Ramachandran
plots before and after refinement
- eLBOW can find unique instances of a ligand from the PDB and optionally
create Polder OMIT maps
- Updated structural library for phenix.structure_search
- Updated ligand library for phenix.ligand_identification
- Improved reporting of cis-peptides for residues with altloc atoms
- Output of mmCIF format files by default by major tools: phenix.refine,
phenix.real_space_refine, phenix.pdbtools
- Bugfixes in Phaser-2.8.3
Other improvements
- Updated mmCIF support (stuct_conn loop, ligand restraints, sequence)
- phenix.refine, phenix.real_space_refine, and phenix.pdbtools will also output
models in mmCIF format by default
- Dependencies are now based on conda packages, which will be more compatible
with new operating systems and will
improve consistency across all platforms (macOS, linux, Windows)
- Bug fixes
