An automatic program to generate theoretical Patterson peaks and to compare them with experimental peaks

Structure solution program. Location of a fragment of known geometry by integrated Patterson, packing, and direct methods

This is a program to plot a diffraction pattern from a dataset (any ascii format reflection file) on laserprinter, Silicon Graphics or ESV window by generating a postscript file. The picture is in a style of precession film.

Program PDB is free software for the Macintosh for analysis of 3D

Program suite containing tools and examples for extracting mmCIF data from macromolecular structure determination applications.

A curated online protein block sequence database. PDB-2-PB version 1.0 has the curated protein block sequences for 103 252 PDB chain entries (93 547 X-ray, 7033 NMR and 2672 other experimental chain entries).

Perl library for reading and writing PDB format coordinate files. The PdbRead subroutine is hacked/translated from the CCP4 fortran library PDBREAD (in RWBROOK.F). It's useful for writing perl jiffies. For further information contact Charlie Bond

Script for filtering PDB entries and producing mmCIF output.

The open-source Python program PDB2INS is designed to prepare a .ins file and .hkl file
for refinement with SHELXL, taking atom coordinates and other information from a Protein Data Bank (PDB)-format file or PDB code.

Program for inspecting Rietveld fits from pdCIF, distributed as part of the ciftools package.

Full profile structural refinement of the atomic pair distribution function (PDF). Allows the refinement of multiple data sets and/or structural phases. Provides a complimentary tool to traditional Rietveld by probing the local rather than long range structure of a material.

Data analysis package used to generate pair distributions functions (PDF's) using neutron powder diffraction data collected at neutron spallation sources

Computation of the pair distribution function (PDF) from X-ray powder diffraction data. Gives the total scattering structure function, S(Q), from the X-ray powder diffraction data by applying corrections for experimental effects such as multiple scattering, absorption, polarization effects and Compton scattering.

A new software application for converting X-ray powder diffraction data to an atomic pair distribution function (PDF). In comparison to the preceding programs, PDFgetX3 requires fewer inputs and less user experience and it can be readily adopted by novice users.

For modeling of local structure and nanostructure in materials from atomic pair distribution functions (PDFs).

This is a refinement program that takes an initial structure, in the form of a crystal structure, for example from a cif file, and refines structural parameters by fitting to PDF data from x-ray or neutron diffraction experiments.

It has an easy to use graphical user interface.

Software for fitting local and intermediate structures to atomic pair distribution functions (PDFs) obtained from x-ray and neutron diffraction data.
