An overview of the CCP4 project in protein crystallography: an example of a collaborative project.
نویسنده
چکیده
The Collaborative Computational Project Number 4 (CCP4) was established in 1979 to promote collaboration between UK groups writing software for protein crystallography. CCP4 now distributes a large software suite and is active in developing new software. Equally importantly, CCP4 provides a focus for the whole protein crystallography community via meetings, workshops, email lists and various publications. In this Article, an overview is given of CCP4 activities and their administration. The emphasis is on generic features of the collaboration rather than details specific to protein crystallography. The CCP4 model has inspired similar developments in NMR, and it is hoped that the biological XAS community may pursue similar collaboration.

The CCP4 (Collaborative Computational Project, number 4) aims to provide first a state-of-the-art suite consisting of a collection of programs plus associated data and subroutine libraries for the determination of macromolecular structure by X-ray crystallography. The programs are from a wide variety of sources but all use agreed standard data file formats. The suite is designed to be flexible,...
متن کاملAn Evaluative Case Study Of The Unicef Global Education Project In Iran
In 2000, an evaluation of Iranian elementary education revealed that it did not successfully prepare students for the future. The failure was attributed to the teacher centered, content-oriented education system. In 2001, the Iranian Ministry of Education began a pilot project that introduced an alternative curriculum, known as “Global Education,” with UNICEF’s participation. Global education, ...

JOINT CCP4 AND ESF-EACBM NEWSLETTER ON PROTEIN CRYSTALLOGRAPHY An informal Newsletter associated with the BBSRC Collaborative Computational Project No. 4 on Protein Crystallography and the ESF Network of the European Association of the Crystallography of Biological Macromolecules
Ab initio phasing of ribosomal particles at very low resolution was attempted with several methods based on the amplitude information from native crystals. Some of these methods used simple topological constraints or information about the envelope shape obtained from electron microscopic reconstruction in addition. This paper reviews the approaches used and compares the results obtained for low...
