GitHub - Pemsley/coot: Software For Macromolecular Model-building

A little over a decade ago, Paul Emsley, biochemistry professor at the University of Oxford, was looking to ditch his white coat. What he really wanted was to spend more time programming in the computer lab. “I was happy using existing software tools,” said Emsley, who had used O and other tools in his research. “But you go down the pub and think, if only the tool did this, and if only it did that. That festered for years.”

The Official Coot Wiki. The official Coot Wiki is now part of the CCP4 wiki. This page deals with issues specific to installation on OS X. Making Ray-Traced Images with Coot. The fink package for coot recommends installing raster3d and/or povray. 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.

• Coot Virus performs a complex encryption process via advanced ciphers, which makes all personal files inaccessible. However, this operation takes time. If you click on a corrupt email attachment or download fake software updates, which contain Coot Virus, you may not experience any issues during the first few hours.
• (1) WinCoot will save your backup structures in a coot-backup directory, which is default under C:yourWinCootdirectory coot-backup. This can be changed for every user. It will accumulate a lot of pdb files and should be 'cleaned' occasionally.
• CCP4mg is a project that aims to provide a general-purpose tool for structural biologists, providing tools for X-ray structure solution, structure comparison and analysis, and publication-quality graphics. The map-fitting tools are available as a stand-alone package, distributed as `Coot'.

In the late 1990s, Emsley had the opportunity to join the lab of Kevin Cowtan at University of York with the task of implementing software to perform crystallographic “ridge line tracing” in three dimensions, a concept first imagined in the 1970s by Johnathan Greer, now Director of Structural …
