Program: CNSsolve
Version: 1.1
Patch level: 0
Status: general release
Changes for version 1.1
-----------------------
Program:
- fixed bug in maximum likelihood targets when using anomalous data
- fixed bug in fast translation search that could permit special
positions to be searched during molecular replacement
- modified DEC Alpha installation to deal with treatment of backslash
by the latest Compaq Fortran compiler
- modified Linux installations to only use -malign-double flag on x86 based
machines
- added test in code to try to catch bug in fast math library on some SGIs
- added new Makefile options for compilation with fast math library on SGIs
- added Makefile for Compaq compilers running under Linux on Alpha platforms
HTML Interface:
- updated CGI scripts to account for treatment of undef in the latest
development version of PERL
HTML Documentation:
- added flowcharts (in PDF format) for phasing tutorials
- added guidelines for MAD and SAD phasing tutorials
- added information to the FAQ
- possible problems with RedHat 7 on Linux systems
- problems with fastmath library under Irix 6.5 on R5000 SGI systems
- added recent papers to bibliography
Task files:
- fixed major bugs in:
xtal_refine/composite_omit_map.inp (map was made over most of unit cell
instead of around selected atoms)
auxiliary/ncs.def (incorrect application of skew matrix)
xtal_refine/refine.inp (atom-based parameter corrections were not
applied - cis-peptides were not recognized)
xtal_util/model_phase.inp (incorrect combination of structure factors from
model and bulk solvent)
- fixed minor bugs in:
general/neighbours.inp (environment option could not be enabled
from HTML interface)
xtal_phase/mad_phase.inp (f'/f'' values not reported as absolute values in
summary file)
xtal_mmcif/deposit_mmcif.inp (incorrect binwise free R-values reported)
- changes to:
xtal_util/analyse.inp (output correlation of anomalous signal between
different datasets as both a matrix and by
resolution - useful for determining quality of
anomalous data for a MAD experiment. Thanks to
Tom Terwilliger for suggesting this.)
xtal_patterson/patterson_map.inp (set default resolution to be 15A to 4A)
predict_patterson.inp ( " )
patterson_refine.inp ( " )
xtal_mmcif/deposit_mmcif.inp (default is to deposit unmodified experimental
data, i.e. uncorrected for anisotropy)
- new files:
general/rms_fit.inp (calculate and apply RMS fit between 2 molecules)
Modules:
- fixed major bugs in:
xtal/scalenbulk (incorrect anisotropic scaling of intensities for the
MLI target)
- fixed minor bugs in:
xtal/twin_operators (incorrect twin operator definition for point group 23)
- changes in:
xtal/siterefine
xtal/printcoordinates (correct printing of f'/f'' values by mad_phase.inp
summary file)
Libraries:
- added toppar/single_atoms.top and toppar/single_atoms.par to provide
topology and parameters for isolated carbon and oxygen atoms. These can
be used as scatterers when topology information is missing (e.g. when
using an EM mask for molecular replacement).
Utilities:
- none
