There is a parallelization (OpenMP) source code patch for CNS from Kay dot Diederichs at uni-konstanz dot de. It is now distributed with CNS 1.2 as an alternate download. The parallel version features (roughly) a 2-fold speedup on a 4-core machine for a typical simulated annealing omit map run. | There is a parallelization (OpenMP) source code patch for CNS from Kay dot Diederichs at uni-konstanz dot de.

Joe Krahn is working an RPM spec for installing CNS on Linux, which includes standard and OpenMP build versions, and is also experimenting with using the CCP4i GUI to run CNS. If interested, [[User_Talk:joekrahn|leave him a message]]. | Joe Krahn is working an RPM spec for installing CNS on Linux, which includes standard and OpenMP build versions, and is also experimenting with using the CCP4i GUI to run CNS.

== Super-resolution and DEN == | |||
"Super-resolution" was defined in the DEN paper as | |||
achieving coordinate accuracy better than the resolution | |||
limit d_min of the diffraction data. This | |||
definition was proposed in analogy to its wide-spread use in optical microscopy: | |||
"super-resolution" methods such as STORM, PALM, and STED achieve | |||
accuracy of positions of fluorescent labels significantly better than the | |||
diffraction limit (in some cases, sub-nanometer accuracy - | |||
Pertsinidis, Zhang, Chu, Nature 466, 647-651, 2010). | |||
DEN was found to be useful to move some atoms into correct | |||
positions in cases where electron density maps are difficult or | |||
impossible to interpret at low resolution. By default, DEN is | |||
active during the first torsion angle molecular dynamics stages, | |||
but then turned off during the last two stages. In addition, the | |||
DEN network is deformable. Thus, DEN is very different from | |||
"secondary structure" restraints or point restraints to reference | |||
models which are "on" all the time. Rather, DEN steers or | |||
guides the torsion angle conformational search process during | |||
refinement. | |||
