Crystallography coot

  • How do you measure distance in coot?

    To measure distances or bond angles use Measures -\x26gt; Distances & Angles and then select what you would like to measure, followed by clicking on atoms..

  • What is the reference for coot crystallography?

    The reference for the coot is: Emsley P, Cowtan K (2004).
    Coot: model-building tools for molecular graphics.
    Acta Crystallogr.May 11, 2016.

  • Coot is free software, distributed under the GNU GPL.
    It is available from the Coot web site originally at the University of York, and now at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology.
    Pre-compiled binaries are also available for Linux and Windows from the web page and CCP4, and for Mac OS X through Fink and CCP4.

  • Use "Draw" ‑\x26gt; "Goto Atom" or hit "F6" or choose the "Go To Atom" symbol (green arrow pointing towards a yellow circle) in the top menu bar of COOT.
    Use the sequence view: "Draw" ‑\x26gt; "Sequence view"

What Does It do?

Cootis for macromolecular model building, model completion and validation, particularly suitable for protein modelling using X-ray data

Where Are The Release Binaries?

https://www2.mrc-lmb.cam.ac

What's It like?

Coot has some features that resemble those of Frodo, O, Quanta and XtalView's XFit. It is a completely independent system of course

Is There A Coot Mailing List?

There is a Cootemail list now hosted by the jiscmail service : http://www.jiscmail.ac

Is There Coot Documentation?

Yes. The 2012 ACA Coot Basics can be found here. The 2012 ACA Coot Extras can be found here. The 2010 CCP4 Study weekend presentation can be found here

How Do I Cite Coot?

Please see the FAQ. Get the paper. I like to spell Cootwith a capital "C" and lower-case "oot", with italics. I am not dogmatic about it

Is It Scriptable?

Yep, hundreds of functions are made available to the user via SWIGand can be scripted in either Python or scheme

What Libraries Do I Need?

1. fftw 2. mmdb 3

Errg. Sounds Complicated.

Yes, it is a bit. Binary distributionsfor a selection of systems are built every night

on Which Platforms Does It Run?

Certainly on Ubuntu, Fedora, RedHat Enterprise Linux, Microsoft Windows, MacOS X. You can get WinCoot here
