Olex2 1.1.5 released
The new version of Olex2 is released now
The new version provides a number of features:
- tutorials - to help you to start with Olex2
- olex2-refine - new, fully featured, smtbx based refinement with new angle and dihedral angle restraints and rotated ADP constraint and support for HKLF 5
- electron density maps for twinned datasets
- PovRay output including export of polyhedra, planes and iso-surfaces
- disorder modelling tools (mode fit, mode fit -s, available from the GUI)
- asymmetric unit reconstruction mode (mode grow -a)
- better treatment of H atoms for water - the H atoms are constrained and allowed to ride on and rotate around the oxygen atom; coordinated water and R-NH2 are modelled as rotating tetrahedral groups
- improving inversion function to take into account the space group change like in the case of P31 to P32
- built in cell search engine - a portable version of LCELLS, fast and efficient way to check if somebody in the lab already collected the dataset
- extended customisation available including the possibility to permanently restrict the angle to filter hydrogen bonds (hbond_min_angle=120), to restrict Olex2 from removing invalid instructions when reading INS file (preserve_invalid_ins=False) and invert the mouse for zooming (InvertMouse=False) stored in .options file. Other options will be developed for the next release.
- GUI support for multiple dataset CIFs
- files can now be read using HTTP links
- extended atom selection wildcards - use $*,type1,type2 to select all atoms but of specific type
- CCDC deposition and CheckCif report is available with a click of the button
- Solvent Accessible Voids calculation is added
