PAN Blend mx-dev packages

The CCP4 software suite is based around a library of routines which cover common tasks, such as file opening, parsing keyworded input, reading and writing of standard data formats, applying symmetry operations, etc. Programs in the suite call these routines which, as well as saving the programmer some effort, ensure that the varied programs in the suite have a similar look-and-feel.

The library contains several sub components:

• CMTZ library -- Contains a variety of functions for manipulating the data structure, for example adding crystals, datasets or columns. The data structure can be dumped to an output MTZ data file.

• CMAP library -- Functions defining the C-level API for accessing CCP4 map files.

• CSYM library -- a collection of functions centered around a data file syminfo.lib which is auto-generated from sgtbx (the Space Group Toolbox of cctbx).

• CCP4 utility library -- many utility functions which either give specific CCP4 or platform independent functionality.

• CCP4 Parser library -- provides CCP4-style parsing, as used for processing keywords of CCP4 programs, MTZ header records, etc.

• CCP4 resizable arrays -- defines an object and methods which looks just like a simple C array, but can be resized at will without incurring excessive overheads.

The aim of the clipper project is to produce a set of object-oriented libraries for the organisation of crystallographic data and the performance of crystallographic computation.

This package contains development environment for programs which will use the clipper libraries.

SSM is a macromolecular coordinate superposition library, written by Eugene Krissinel of the EBI.

The library implements the SSM algorithm of protein structure comparison in three dimensions, which includes an original procedure of matching graphs built on the protein's secondary-structure elements, followed by an iterative three-dimensional alignment of protein backbone Calpha atoms.

This package contains libraries and header files needed for program development.
