'''Main parts of the Phenix suite (possibly incomplete list!):'''
'''The following tools are available (list may be incomplete):'''
* [http://www.phenix-online.org/documentation/refinement.htm phenix.refine] - refinement program
* [http://www.phenix-online.org/documentation/autosol.htm phenix.autosol] - "wizard" using HYSS, SOLVE, Phaser, RESOLVE, xtriage and phenix.refine to solve a structure and generate experimental phases with the MAD, MIR, SIR, or SAD methods
* [http://www.phenix-online.org/documentation/automr.htm phenix.automr] - "wizard" providing an interface to Phaser molecular replacement and feeding the results of molecular replacement directly into the AutoBuild Wizard for automated model rebuilding
* [http://www.phenix-online.org/documentation/autobuild.htm phenix.autobuild] - "wizard" for model rebuilding and completion. phenix.phase_and_build, phenix.build_one_model are fast ways to obtain results.
