iMosflm - a tool for data reduction
Scientific Programmer
Medical Research Council The Laboratory of Molecular Biology
Host: Jason Key
iMosflm is the User Interface to the data reduction program Mosflm; it is designed to be as intuitive as possible, and straightforward to intelligently process single crystal diffraction datasets. It provides many tools to optimise data proccessing and visualisation of diffraction images and results, and gives a direct path into structural analysis via the programs within CCP4.

SBGrid Support Forums
Published December 2 2014
With the launch of our new website in the fall of 2014, we added a new option for help in the form of our SBGrid forums: the SBGrid Consortium Wiki and Discussion Forum. The Wiki includes information on navigating the SBGrid environment, ways to access the software installation, hardware recommendations, and frequently asked questions, while the Discussion Forum is intended for members discuss any issues relevant to structural biology. Members are free to join the forums, comment on existing posts, ask questions of the community or seek help directly from the SBGrid team.
