Solve (v1.18)


Automated crystallographic structure solution for MIR and MAD

SOLVE is a program that can carry out all the steps of macromolecular structure determination.
It scales data, solves Patterson functions, calculates difference Fouriers, looks at a native Fourier to see if there are distinct solvent and protein regions, and can score partial MAD and MIR solutions to build up a complete solution

SOLVE is written by Tom Terwilliger


To start the program at the CSB core from a Linux, Dec or an Sgi type the following:
setup solve
solve & or
solve_giant & or
solve_huge &

A hard copy of the User Manual is available in the core area and online, but that manual is for V1.18. That is the version we have, but most of the links are broken.

The current online manual is for v2.02, which we do not yet have. It is at http://www.solve.lanl.gov/html_solve/index.html. That also contains worked examples.
