SnB is a computer program based on Shake-and-Bake, a dual-space direct-methods procedure for determining crystal structures from X-ray diffraction data. It provides a graphical user interface for (i) computing normalized structure-factor magnitudes, (ii) the main Shake-and-Bake phasing algorithm, and (iii) visualization and molecule-editing facilities
SnB is available in the Core for Linux, SGI, and Alpha.
To run the program in the Core:
setup snb
snb
To run the SnB program on the Alphas, make sure the display is set to the
remote host by using the following commands:
On local machine:
xhost +name_of_remote_host
On remote machine:
setenv DISPLAY 'local_machine_name:0.0'
The home page for SnB has a tutorial and a FAQ site.
An online Manual
is available. This document can also be viewed from the Help button of the SnB
interface.
A hard copy of the old manual can be found in the core.
Examples can be found in /srv/local/snb/new/linux/examples for Linux, in /srv/local/snb/new/osf/examples for the Decs, and in /srv/local/snb/new/irix/examples for SGIs.
