Collaborative Computational Project No. 4
Software for Macromolecular X-Ray Crystallography


CCP4 exists to produce and support a world-leading, integrated suite of programs that allows researchers to determine macromolecular structures by X-ray crystallography, and other biophysical techniques. CCP4 aims to develop and support the development of cutting edge approaches to experimental determination and analysis of protein structure, and integrate these approaches into the suite. CCP4 is a community based resource that supports the widest possible researcher community, embracing academic, not for profit, and for profit research. CCP4 aims to play a key role in the education and training of scientists in experimental structural biology. It encourages the wide dissemination of new ideas, techniques and practice.

CCP4 special issue Proceedings of the 2015 Study Weekend on Advances in Experimental Phasing are now available. For more information about past events see details of past Study Weekends and proceedings.
CCP4 Online Automated Webservices
BALBES NEW! The CCP4-online webserver is now available. Users can make use of BALBES, MrBUMP and MoRDa, the automated molecular replacement services. Zanuda, the refinement result checking software and PISA for the calculation and analysis of macromolecular surfaces and interfaces are also available, as well as CRANK2 and SHELX pipelines for experimental phasing.
