Xds

What is XDS, and how to obtain it?

XDS is a program written for the "reduction" of 2-dimensional data images ("frames") obtained from crystals irradiated with X-rays.

The author of the program is Wolfgang Kabsch (Wolfgang.Kabsch@mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de).

The program is free for academic use, and can be downloaded from http://www.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/~kabsch/xds/html_doc/downloading.html .

Documentation is at http://www.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/~kabsch/xds .

Purpose of the Wiki

The purpose of this Wiki is to supplement the documentation. I (Kay Diederichs) try to keep the Wiki up-to-date with XDS versions and insights.

Use of the Wiki

The MediaWiki software used here works in the same way as the well-known Wikipedia. This means that any user can edit existing pages, and create new ones. Whether this policy can/will be maintained for the future remains to be seen.

To see what's there already, go to http://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/xdswiki/index.php/Special:Allpages .
