This CCP4 user wiki is meant to be a collection of crystallographic knowledge as discussed on the CCP4 mailing list, and elsewhere. It may contain information about anything relevant to protein crystallographers, whether methods-related ("what is the best program for purpose X?"), problem-oriented ("my crystals melt if I look at them"), or concerning hardware ("what is your opinion on robot X / computer Y?"). Please see Topics for a list of (possible) items.
The intention is that the wiki reflect the breadth of topics on CCP4BB, which will make it a useful resource e.g. for "frequently asked questions", offloading some of the question/answer traffic on CCP4BB to a more permanent mode of storage. Many interesting questions are currently being answered on the CCP4 bulletin board, but the answers are not easily accessible for others after some time. A wiki has the additional advantage that mathematical formulas and images may be presented nicely.
What is CCP4?
CCP4 is a crystallographic program system, and can be downloaded from [1]. It is free for academic use; the license is at [2]. Documentation is at [3], and a mailing list (CCP4BB) is at [4].
How to contribute to this wiki
Everyone is invited to contribute. Please create an account with a name related to your true name. This CCP4 wiki is under the same Copyright as Wikipedia. We'll see how this goes. A number of experienced crystallographers, who are also contributors to CCP4BB, have agreed to take a role as editors.
