Software Updates

CryoCodex

is a tool for cryo-EM density maps, estimating local map quality, and predicting molecular masks. It produces an enhanced map, local quality scores for both the original and enhanced maps, and a molecular mask to support map interpretation and structural analysis. It offers a faster cropped-map processing mode and full-map processing.

Careless

a tool that merges crystallography data without much physics. It performs scaling, merging, and French-Wilson corrections in a single step by directly inferring structure factor amplitudes from unscaled, unmerged intensities.

BioXTAS RAW

a program for analysis of SAXS data that enables creation of 1D scattering profiles from 2D detector images, standard data operations such as averaging and subtraction, analysis of radius of gyration (Rg) and molecular weight, and advanced processing using GNOM, DAMMIF, and AMBIMETER. It also allows easy processing of inline SEC-SAXS data.

OpenFreeEnergy

is a Python package for executing alchemical free energy calculations.

cs2star

a simple utility that wraps around csparc2star.py to convert particle positions from Cryosparc JOB directories into a RELION-ready directory.

AlphaPulldown

a Python package that streamlines protein-protein interaction screens and high-throughput modelling of higher-order oligomers using AlphaFold-Multimer.

EPU_group_AFIS_ratolonfork

is a tool that takes the XML metadata from an EPU session that used AFIS (Aberration Free Image Shift) for faster acquisition and organizes the collected micrograph movies into RELION Optics Groups. In RELION version 3.1 where these groups were introduced they can be used to further reduce the effects of high-order aberrations on the data induced by collecting using large amounts of beam-image shift.

NMRFx Analyst

a tool for NMR processing, visualization and analysis that integrates code of NMRFx Processor, Structure and additional tools.

Ais

a tool that provides annotation and segmentation of cryo-ET data using convolutional neural networks.

DSSP

a program that standardizes secondary structure assignment calculated from a coordinate file. Secondary structure prediction is not supported. Designed by Wolfgang Kabsch and Chris Sander

cryoFILTER

is a cryo-EM contamination detection and particle-filtering tool that identifies contaminated regions in micrographs without discarding entire images. It can classify contamination such as carbon, crystalline ice, aggregates, and ethane, and filter affected particle picks through integration with CryoSPARC and RELION. It also provides a browser-based interface for annotation and fine-tuning models on individual datasets.

autoPROC

a tool that combines third-party processing programs with new tools for automated data processing of single-sweep, multi-sweep and multi-crystal X-ray diffraction data.

BindCraft2

BindCraft2 (BC2) brings de novo miniproteins, scaffolded binders, cyclic peptides and multistate design into one workflow. Describe your target, choose the kind of binder you want, and add properties that matter for your experiment. Named presets supply the design settings and acceptance filters; you can adjust individual settings when needed.

Volume_Seg_Tool

a tool that utilizes deep learning to perform volumetric electron microscopy image segmentations, both semantic and instance segmentation.
