Electron-density maps, including omit maps, are calculated on the fly as needed. Calculated structure factors can be updated as models are adjusted, so the effect on difference maps can be seen immediately. All calculations are controlled interactively through pop-up windows. Binaries will be ready for distribution this fall. Source code will require a license.
Extensive documentation is available.
Protein-Filter enables you to display the parts of a molecule you are most interested in. As with all AVS modules, this module can be combined with others that add such things as electron density, electrostatic fields, molecular affinity grids, and labels into one image. You can manipulate the resulting image in three dimensions, edit colors, change the lighting, and generate multiple simultaneous views without having to write any programs. This module will be available this fall. By providing easy access to these high-quality software tools and others SDSC plans to add, CCMS is working to advance macromolecular studies.
