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
