This | This wiki is meant to be a collection of crystallographic knowledge centered around the [http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/main.html CCP4 project]. It may contain information about anything relevant to protein crystallographers, be it methods-related ("what is the best program for purpose X?"), problem-oriented ("my crystals melt if I look at them"), or even concerning hardware ("what is your opinion on robot X / computer Y?"). Please see [[Topics]] for a list of (possible) items. | ||

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. | ||
